Johann Heinrich Störchlin's "Portret van Leopold Anton von Firmian," a 1727–37 etching, showcases the Archbishop of Salzburg, Leopold Anton von Firmian, in a formal portrait. This Baroque-style work highlights the subject's status with a detailed depiction of his attire, including a heavy robe and a prominent cross, and is further emphasized by the inclusion of his coat of arms and a Latin inscription detailing his titles and lineage. This piece, held in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Störchlin's skill in capturing the solemnity and grandeur of the sitter, offering a glimpse into the life of a prominent figure of the early 18th century.
