This engraving, "Portret van Carl Ludwig Willdenow," was created by Johann Daniel (II) Laurenz in 1802. It depicts Carl Ludwig Willdenow, a prominent German botanist, in an oval portrait format. Willdenow's profile is displayed, facing left, with his name and title, "Professor der Botanik und Naturgeschichte am Collegium Medico-Chirurgicum zu Berlin," inscribed underneath. The engraving's precise style and fine details make it an exemplary piece of printmaking from the early 19th century.
