This 17th century engraving, "Portret van Balthasar Sack," by Johann Alexander Böner, is a classic example of portraiture from this period. Depicting Balthasar Sack in an oval frame, Böner employs a formal style, emphasizing Sack's status and dignity. The inscription surrounding the portrait and the text below likely provide biographical details about Sack, though they are difficult to decipher. This print is a testament to Böner's skill as an engraver, capturing subtle details and light and shadow with precision.
