Portret van Amand Berghofer 1789

Adam von Bartsch's 1789 engraving, "Portret van Amand Berghofer," depicts Berghofer in profile within an oval frame. The etching, a form of printmaking, displays fine lines and detail, capturing the sitter's features with precision. Bartsch, a prolific engraver born in 1757 and active until his death in 1821, was known for his portraiture and contributions to the art of engraving. This artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, showcases Bartsch's technical skill and the popularity of portraiture in the 18th century.
