Portret van Sebastian von Bergen op 44-jarige leeftijd 1705 - 1769

This etching, "Portret van Sebastian von Bergen op 44-jarige leeftijd," by Christian Fritzsch, depicts Sebastian von Bergen at the age of 44. Created between 1705 and 1769, the portrait showcases von Bergen in a formal pose, wearing a ruff and a richly embroidered robe. His serious expression and the inclusion of his age in the inscription emphasize the importance of status and lineage in 18th-century society. The work, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, highlights the technical skill of etching, a printmaking technique popular during this period.
