"Portret van Isaak Steiger" is an engraving created by the Swiss artist David Herrliberger in 1750. The print depicts Isaak Steiger, a prominent figure from the Swiss municipality of Allmendingen. Steiger, wearing a long, dark robe, is presented in a formal, almost austere composition, emphasizing his social standing. The engraving's detailed lines and subtle shading create a lifelike representation, highlighting the artist's skill in portraiture. The work, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, serves as a valuable document of 18th-century Swiss society.
