"Portret van Bertholdus II" is a 18th-century engraving by Joseph Anton Zimmermann, depicting Bertholdus II, a prominent figure from that era. The artwork showcases the meticulous detail and realism of Zimmermann's style, capturing the subject in a seated pose within an elaborate setting. This small-scale work, measuring 185 mm in height and 127 mm in width, is a testament to Zimmermann's skill in portraiture and engraving. The inscription at the bottom provides further context about the subject's life and achievements, adding depth to the artistic representation. This piece would be of interest to art historians studying the 18th-century printmaking techniques and the visual culture of the period.
