This 17th-century engraving by Conrad Meyer depicts Johann Jacob Irminger, a pastor from the Swiss town of Tigurin. Created in 1660, the portrait showcases Irminger in a somber pose, holding an open book, likely the Bible. The detailed rendering of his features and clothing, along with the inscription below, suggests a focus on both the individual's identity and his professional role. This work exemplifies the Dutch Baroque style, characterized by its realism and attention to detail, and is a valuable example of portraiture from the period.
