Portret van L.F. Lassen 1801 - 1823

This engraving, created by Johann Jakob Rieter between 1801 and 1823, is a portrait of L.F. Lassen, a captain in the Danish Navy. The artwork is a classic example of portraiture, showcasing Lassen in profile and in military uniform. Rieter's use of fine lines and stippling creates a detailed and realistic representation of Lassen. The inscription below the portrait reveals Lassen's title as "Chef for Blok-Skibet Provveteen" (Commander of the Block-Ship Provveteen) and the date of his death, April 2, 1801. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam houses this historical artwork.
