Portret van Louis Leonard Tschudi 1702 - 1773

This engraving by Antonio Baldi, dating from the 18th century, depicts Louis Leonard Tschudi, a Swiss military figure. The portrait, framed by a decorative oval, shows Tschudi in a formal pose, his gaze directed toward the viewer. The inscription surrounding the portrait details his title, "Captain of the Guards of the Republic of Glarus." This work, measuring 242 mm in height and 185 mm in width, provides a glimpse into the life and status of a prominent figure in 18th-century Switzerland. The use of engraving techniques like hatching and cross-hatching effectively create a sense of depth and texture, adding to the realism of the portrait.
