Portret van Friedrich Ernst Finckler 1738

Johann Wilhelm Windter's 1738 etching, *Portret van Friedrich Ernst Finckler*, depicts the subject in a formal portrait setting. Finckler, a prominent figure in his time, is rendered with a dignified air, wearing a powdered wig and ornate clothing, likely reflecting his status. The image includes details such as a table, a hat, and a decorative vase, suggesting a grand interior setting. The inscription on the etching provides additional information about Finckler’s title and date of death. This work, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the portraiture style of the 18th century.
