Portret van Kaspar Nimptsch 1701 - 1729

This engraved portrait, created by Johann Tscherning between 1701 and 1729, depicts Kaspar Nimptsch. The artwork is a fine example of the Baroque style, characterized by its elaborate frame, which features intertwining foliage and a crown. Nimptsch, the subject of the portrait, is portrayed in a formal pose, holding a book, and wearing a ruffed collar, a popular style in the 17th century. The detailed depiction of his clothing and facial features suggests that this was likely commissioned to commemorate Nimptsch's life and achievements. The portrait is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
