Portret van Samuel von Schmettau 1741 - 1767

This engraving, "Portret van Samuel von Schmettau", was created by Johann Martin Bernigeroth between 1741 and 1767. It depicts Samuel von Schmettau, a Prussian General Field Marshal, in an oval frame. The intricate details of the uniform, the subtle shading on the face, and the inscription below the portrait create a sense of realism and historical accuracy. This work is an excellent example of 18th-century portraiture and is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
