Portret van Charles Christian Reisen 1729 - 1732

This engraving, created by George White between 1729 and 1732, is a portrait of Charles Christian Reisen, a renowned seal engraver. The artwork captures Reisen in a three-quarter length pose, dressed in a dark jacket with a white shirt, his long, flowing wig adding to his dignified presence. The engraving's meticulous detail, particularly in the rendering of Reisen's face, underscores the artist's skill and the prominence of portraiture during the Baroque era. The inscription at the bottom identifies Reisen as a "Lapidarium Sculptor Sigillarium Celeberrimus," further emphasizing his renown as a master seal engraver.
