Portret van Christian Gerber 1731

"Portret van Christian Gerber" is an engraving by Dutch artist Moritz Bodenehr (1665-1749). Created in 1731, the portrait depicts Christian Gerber, a prominent figure in Dutch society. The engraving features Gerber in a somber pose, dressed in a long, dark robe, with a book and quill in his hands, suggestive of his intellectual pursuits. Set against a backdrop of a bookshelf overflowing with books, this image captures the essence of a learned individual in the era.
