Portret van Johann Friedrich Weißenborn 1790 - 1836

"Portret van Johann Friedrich Weißenborn" is a print created between 1790 and 1836 by Christoph-Wilhelm Bock. The print is a portrait of Johann Friedrich Weißenborn, a German physician and botanist. It depicts Weißenborn in profile, wearing a striped coat and a powdered wig. The print is a miniature portrait, and the small size of the work reflects its intended function as a memento or keepsake. The print is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, a Dutch national museum dedicated to the arts and history. The print is a fine example of 18th century portraiture, and its minimalist style demonstrates the burgeoning influence of Neoclassicism in European art.
