Portrait of Johann Christian Brand 1793

Adam von Bartsch's "Portrait of Johann Christian Brand" is an etching created in 1793. This portrait depicts Brand in profile, his face turned towards the viewer, and his features are rendered with great detail. The work, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City, showcases Bartsch's mastery of the etching technique, evident in the precise lines and subtle shading used to define Brand's likeness. The oval frame encasing the portrait further emphasizes Brand's presence as a central figure in the composition.
