Portret van Paul Carl Hertel 1800

This engraving by Christoph-Wilhelm Bock, created in 1800, depicts Paul Carl Hertel in profile. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, portrays Hertel, a Roth-Stück-Gießchen Gießer in Nürnberg, in a simple yet elegant composition. The engraving's focus on the subject's profile, a common feature of portraiture, allows for a detailed rendering of Hertel's facial features. This work is an excellent example of portrait engraving, capturing the likeness of a prominent figure in an accessible and engaging manner.
