Portret van Christoph Bernhard von Galen, bisschop van Münster 1675

This 1675 etching by Dutch artist Christiaan Hagen portrays Christoph Bernhard von Galen, the Bishop of Münster. The portrait depicts him in a detailed, aristocratic pose, likely in his official attire, holding a helmet in his left hand and a small piece of paper in his right. The background is an intricate depiction of a landscape with a city and a church, possibly Münster itself. This detailed print is a classic example of Dutch etching and offers insight into the portraiture styles of the 17th century.
