Johann Heinrich Lips's "Portret van Ludwig Friedrich von Schmidt" is a portrait engraving from 1768. It depicts Ludwig Friedrich von Schmidt in profile, with his name engraved below the portrait. The engraving is a testament to Lips’s skill in capturing likeness and detail, which is evident in Schmidt's finely rendered facial features. This artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, provides a glimpse into 18th-century portraiture and the life of a prominent figure.
