Portret van Joachim Hagemeier 1666

This 1666 engraving by Matthias van Sommer is a portrait of Joachim Hagemeier, a counselor to the Wetteravia region. The artwork depicts Hagemeier with a long, flowing wig and a serious expression, dressed in a dark robe and a white collar. The portrait is set within an octagonal frame with a decorative border, and the inscription below indicates that Hagemeier was also a counselor to the imperial city of Regensburg. This is a fine example of a portrait print made during the Dutch Golden Age and is a valuable record of a prominent individual in the 17th century.
