Portret van Johann Schweickart von Reiffenberg 1646

This etching, created in 1646 by Elias Widemann, depicts Johann Schweickart von Reiffenberg, a prominent figure of the time. The portrait shows a close-up of the subject's face and shoulders, with his intricate attire and a prominent mustache. The inscription surrounding the oval portrait identifies him as a Colonel, General, and advisor to the Archbishop of Cologne, Leopold of Austria. This small-scale work, measuring 151 mm by 123 mm, is a fine example of the Dutch Baroque style and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
