This engraving, created by Johann Christiaan Böhme between 1805 and 1835, portrays Johann Christian Gottfried Jörg, a prominent German physician and natural scientist. The image presents a close-up view of Jörg, dressed in formal attire, with a book and plants in the background. The detail of the watch chain and the book inscribed "NATURAL" further highlight his professional pursuits. The engraving's small size and intimate composition contribute to a sense of personal connection between the viewer and the subject.
