Portret van Leonhard Popp 1670 - 1702

This etching, created by German artist Michael Fennitzer between 1670 and 1702, depicts Leonhard Popp, a citizen of Nuremberg. The portrait, a small-scale work measuring just 196 mm in height and 131 mm in width, shows Popp in a formal pose, dressed in a dark robe with a white collar, holding a bouquet of flowers and a fan. The inscription below the image includes a quote about the subject, emphasizing the fleeting nature of life and the promise of a blissful afterlife. This artwork is a testament to Fennitzer's skill in capturing the likeness and personality of his subjects.
