Fotoreproductie van een portret van Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock door Eugen Felix before 1878

This is a photo reproduction of a portrait of Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock, created by Eugen Felix before 1878. The image, likely a photograph, shows Klopstock in a formal pose, looking to the right, wearing a dark jacket and a frilled shirt. This is a common style of portraiture from the 18th and 19th centuries, often commissioned by families to commemorate important figures. The reproduction, while small in size (142mm x 104mm), provides a glimpse into the life and appearance of this renowned German poet. Klopstock's work, particularly his epic poem "The Messiah", was highly influential in his time and continues to be studied today.
