This etching by Leonhard Heckenauer, a German artist who worked primarily in Augsburg, depicts Johann Franz Eckher von Kapfing und Lichteneck, a prominent figure from the 17th century. Created between 1660 and 1704, the artwork showcases the subject in an oval portrait, surrounded by a decorative frame and a coat of arms at the bottom. The artist's meticulous engraving techniques and attention to detail are evident in the rendering of the subject's attire, facial features, and the intricate design elements. The inscription around the oval frame and the prominent coat of arms highlight the subject's status and lineage, making this a striking example of portraiture that served both to commemorate and to symbolize power and prestige.
