Martin Bernigeroth 1703 - 1757

This engraving, created by Johann Christoph Sysang in 1757, depicts Martin Bernigeroth, a renowned Polish and Saxon calcographer. The artwork showcases Bernigeroth in a formal pose, dressed in a luxurious robe, his long hair styled in a full wig. He is seated, holding a stylus, suggesting his profession. The detail in the fabric and the subtle shading contribute to the sense of realism in the piece. This print, currently located at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to the skill of both the artist and the subject, capturing the essence of an influential figure from the 18th century.
