Portret van Christoph Ehinger 1617 - 1623

Lucas Kilian, a German engraver known for his portraits, created a print in 1617-1623 depicting Christoph Ehinger, a minister in Augsburg. The engraving, titled "Portret van Christoph Ehinger", shows Ehinger holding a book, signifying his profession. The inscription highlights his age and years as a preacher, making the work a commemorative piece for the minister. The ornate border and text surrounding the portrait add to the formal tone, typical of religious works in the 17th century. The detail and realistic portrayal of Ehinger demonstrate Kilian's skill as a portraitist. The print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable historical document of both a prominent figure and the artistic practice of the era.
