This 1710 engraving by A. Heinig is a portrait of Johannes Francke at the age of 60. The image depicts Francke in an oval frame, wearing a black robe and a cap, looking directly at the viewer. It is a fine example of portraiture from the early 18th century. The inscription on the frame and the text beneath it, written in Latin, are part of the work and refer to Francke's intellect. The portrait was likely created to commemorate the life and work of the influential German theologian and educator.
