Martin Bernigeroth's 1703 engraving, "Portret van Sophia van Hannover, hertogin van Brunswijk-Luneburg," depicts Sophia, the Electress of Hanover, in an oval portrait. The work is an example of the *engraving* genre, a technique commonly employed in the 18th century for portraiture and reproduction of works of art. Bernigeroth's masterful handling of line creates a detailed and realistic representation of Sophia, highlighting her regal presence and status. The image can be found at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
