Portret van Johann Zieger op 65-jarige leeftijd 1704 - 1711

This etching, created between 1704 and 1711 by August Christian Fleischmann, depicts Johann Zieger, a 65-year-old bookseller and council member, seated in an oval frame. Zieger is adorned in formal attire, holding a book, while a figure representing Time sits at his feet, symbolizing the passage of time and the ephemerality of life. The artwork is a testament to the artist’s skill in capturing detail and conveying symbolic meaning. This work is considered a prime example of portraiture in 18th century Germany.
