Portretbuste van Caspar Ziegler 1667 - 1709

This engraved portrait bust of Caspar Ziegler by Johann Christoph Boecklin was created between 1667 and 1709. The bust depicts Ziegler in a powdered wig, a dark, formal outfit, and a white cravat. The inscription on the pedestal below the bust reads "Icon Ziegleri" which translates to "The Image of Ziegler." The artwork is a fine example of portraiture from the Baroque era, known for its detailed attention to realism and the use of light and shadow. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
