Portret van Christoph Freund 18th century

This 18th century engraving by Johann Friedrich Rosbach depicts Christoph Freund, likely a prominent figure of the time. The portrait is framed by an oval, with a draped cloth in the foreground. Freund is dressed in a fur-trimmed coat and a feathered hat, suggesting a person of status. The inscription around the oval in Latin identifies Freund as a "Friend of the Arts," highlighting his likely patronage of artistic endeavors. The artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a glimpse into the fashion and social hierarchy of 18th century Europe.
