"Dr. Roggenbach of Bamberg" is a 1554 engraving by the German artist Hanns Lautensack. The piece depicts Dr. Roggenbach seated, with his coat adorned with fur. The artist has used cross-hatching techniques to create shading and volume, highlighting the intricate details of the subject's clothing. The portrait is set against a landscape background, with a cityscape and a church visible in the distance. The artwork is part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago and is a prime example of Northern Renaissance portraiture.
