Portret van Bonefacius Amerbach 1759 - 1815

This engraving by Heinrich Pfenninger depicts a portrait of Bonefacius Amerbach, a prominent figure in Basel, Switzerland. Created between 1759 and 1815, the work showcases Amerbach in a simple, yet dignified, pose. His face is illuminated by a soft light, while his clothing is rendered with detail, highlighting the texture of fabric and fur. The engraving, within an oval frame, is a fine example of Pfenninger's skill in capturing likenesses and conveying personality through his art.
