Portret van Johann Ludwig Grimm 1764 - 1779

This 18th-century engraving by Johann Elias Haid, titled "Portret van Johann Ludwig Grimm," depicts Johann Ludwig Grimm, a prominent figure in the city of Regensburg. The portrait, created between 1764 and 1779, is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection. Grimm is portrayed in a formal pose, wearing a black coat and a white collar. The inscription at the bottom reveals key biographical information about him, including his birth and death dates and his role as a counselor and member of the city council. The work is a fine example of portraiture in the tradition of Rococo, with its emphasis on elegant formality and realistic details.
