Portret van Johann Burkard Geiger 1792

This is a portrait of Johann Burkhard Geiger created by Christoph-Wilhelm Bock in 1792. The print, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts Geiger in a circular frame, a common technique for portraits at the time. The subject is shown in profile, his face illuminated with intricate detail, suggesting a focus on capturing his likeness. This type of portraiture is often associated with the Neoclassical style, with its emphasis on realism and the individual. The engraving's small size, 148 mm by 92 mm, suggests it was likely a personal memento or a part of a larger collection.
