Portret van Johann Paul Trummer 1765

Johann Christian Gottfried Fritzsch's 1765 engraving, "Portret van Johann Paul Trummer," depicts the subject seated at a desk with a quill in hand, his face turned towards the viewer. This portrait, which is now in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Fritzsch's skill in capturing the likeness of his subject, as well as his ability to create a sense of realism through detailed rendering of the sitter's clothing and surroundings. The use of an ornate frame further enhances the formal nature of this portrait.
