This engraving by Andreas Niederhofer, created between 1774 and 1782, is a portrait of Antonius Brufeius de Müglitio. The image depicts the subject in an oval frame, wearing a bishop's mitre and robes, with a prominent beard and a serious expression. The intricate detail of the engraving, particularly in the rendering of the clothing and facial features, suggests a high level of skill and precision on the part of the artist. The inclusion of the subject's coat of arms at the bottom of the image adds a sense of authority and formality to the portrait. The engraving is a fine example of portraiture from the 18th century and offers a glimpse into the life and status of a prominent figure of the time.
