This lithograph by Nicolaas Johannes Wilhelmus de Roode, titled *Portret van Martin Luther* depicts the 16th century German reformer Martin Luther. It shows Luther wearing a black cap and academic robes, with a serious and contemplative expression. The detailed lines in the lithograph create a sense of realism, bringing Luther's face and features to life. The piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a powerful example of 19th century portraiture and offers insight into the image of a key figure in the Reformation.
