Portret van Albrecht Ludwig Jakob Harder 1738 - 1770

This engraving by Gottfried (II) Eichler, created between 1738 and 1770, depicts a portrait of Albrecht Ludwig Jakob Harder. The subject is presented in an oval frame, which was a popular choice for portraits during the 18th century. The sitter is dressed in a formal attire, likely a clergyman or scholar, emphasizing the importance of his position. The inscription below the portrait provides information about the subject, likely his role and accomplishments. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the technical skill and stylistic conventions of portraiture during the Baroque and Rococo periods.
