Portret van Johann Friedrich Winckler op 59-jarige leeftijd 1738 - 1802

This engraving by Johann Christian Gottfried Fritzsch, created between 1738 and 1802, portrays Johann Friedrich Winckler at the age of 59. The artwork depicts Winckler in a formal pose, wearing a black gown and a large, ruffled collar, with a book resting on a table. This portrait, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a fine example of 18th-century portraiture, showcasing the meticulous detail and realistic representation favored during this period. The inscription below Winckler's image confirms his role as pastor and his age at the time of the engraving. The work's small size suggests it was intended for personal viewing or perhaps as part of a collection of portraits of prominent figures.
