Portret van de hofschilder Gottfried Keck 1670 - 1713

This engraving, created between 1670 and 1713 by Dutch artist Pieter Schenk, depicts Gottfried Keck, the court painter of Saxe-Weissenfels. The portrait, housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases the intricate details and realistic style common to Dutch engravings. Keck's refined attire and the inscription below the image, which highlights his artistic abilities, suggest that Schenk was commissioned to depict Keck's prestige and skill as a painter. The engraving, which is smaller than a typical portrait, was likely created for personal or private use.
