Portret van Auguste von Liegnitz 1810 - 1844

This is a portrait of Auguste von Liegnitz, a German noblewoman, created by Johann Friedrich August Clar between 1810 and 1844. The artwork is an engraving, a technique where an artist uses a burin to incise lines into a metal plate, which is then inked and printed. Clar is known for his portrait engravings, and this piece showcases his mastery of detail and realism. The artwork depicts Auguste in a formal setting, with her upper body, from the chest up, facing the viewer. The portrait shows her wearing a fashionable gown and jewelry, befitting her status as a member of the German aristocracy.
