This is a portrait of Martin Luther, a German theologian and author who played a key role in the Protestant Reformation. The engraving was created by Johann Christoph Boecklin in 1667-1709. Luther is depicted in an oval frame, holding a book in his left hand and pointing with his right. The inscription around his head translates to "Martin Luther, God’s zealous servant, with fearless faith." This engraving is now part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
