Portret van Johannes Stumpf 1632 - 1699

This engraved portrait of Johannes Stumpf by Cornelis Nicolaus Schurtz, created between 1632 and 1699, depicts Stumpf in a formal pose, with his hand holding a book or a scroll. Stumpf's attire, including a large, ruffled collar, signifies his status and position in society. The inscription surrounding the portrait provides information about Stumpf's title, while the text beneath includes a Latin inscription and the artist's initials. The etching technique, a common printing method of the 17th century, was used to create this detailed and expressive portrait. The overall composition and style of the work point to its classification as a Baroque portrait, a popular genre during this period.
