Portret van Ludwig von Hörnigk 1650 - 1654

Matthias van Sommer's "Portret van Ludwig von Hörnigk," a copperplate engraving, depicts a man with a goatee, standing with his right hand resting on his sword hilt, and his head turned slightly to his left. He is dressed in a lavish outfit, likely a depiction of his uniform as a doctor of medicine and philosophy. The engraving is surrounded by a Latin inscription with the subject's name and title within a circular frame, characteristic of portrait engravings of the 17th century. This artwork was created sometime between 1650 and 1654 and provides a glimpse into the portraiture and engraving styles popular during this era.
