"Portret van Salomon Glass" is an engraving by Melchior (II) Hafner created in 1673. The artwork depicts Salomon Glass, a prominent figure of the time, in a detailed portrait, captured within an ornate oval frame surrounded by an elaborate, decorative border. The engraving's small size suggests it may have been intended for personal use or as part of a collection. The inscription "TH. D. SAL. A. CHRISTI" on the left side of the frame identifies Glass as a Doctor of Theology. The inscription "SALOMON GLASSIVS, SONDERSHAVSO THVRINGVS," on the right side of the frame identifies Glass's home. The artist's signature, "Melchior Hafner," and the engraver's signature, "J. Luchtens. Aug.," are both present on the frame, indicating the collaborative nature of the work.
