Portret van Martin Geier op 54-jarige leeftijd en vier verbeelde psalmen 1668

This 1668 engraving by Johann Caspar Hoeckner, a German artist who died at a young age of 41, depicts a portrait of Martin Geier, a 54-year-old man. The artwork, which is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, shows Geier seated with his hands clasped in front of him and holding a book. The image is enclosed in a decorative frame, with four small scenes surrounding the central portrait that are likely meant to represent biblical psalms. The image's complex composition and detailed imagery make it an important example of 17th century German engraving.
