Portret van Ernst Platner 1790

This engraving, created by Johann Friedrich Bause in 1790, depicts Ernst Platner. The subject is shown in an oval portrait, framed by a decorative wreath and an inscription identifying him. The artwork, measuring 278 mm in height and 200 mm in width, showcases Bause's skill in capturing likeness and detail in this elegant and formal portrait.
