Portret van Johann Georg, ridder van Zimmermann 1759 - 1815

This engraving, created by Heinrich Pfenninger between 1759 and 1815, is a portrait of Johann Georg, knight of Zimmermann. The artwork is in the style of a traditional portrait, depicting the subject in a formal pose, and the engraving highlights the sitter’s status with careful attention to detail in his attire. The portrait is a testament to Pfenninger’s skill as an engraver, showcasing his ability to capture likeness and convey the sitter’s character in a small format. The use of stippling and hatching technique in the engraving adds depth and dimension to the image. This portrait of a noble man, with his formal attire, is a fine example of portraiture during the late 18th century.
