Portret van Thomas Abbt 1766 - 1771

Johann David Schleuen’s *Portret van Thomas Abbt* (1766-1771) is an engraving depicting the German philosopher Thomas Abbt. The engraving shows Abbt in a formal pose, wearing a powdered wig and a dark coat. The engraving is framed by an oval border and a pedestal with an inscription that includes Abbt’s dates of birth and death. The engraving was created in the Rococo style and is a testament to Schleuen's skill as an engraver.
