This 1673 engraving by Melchior (II) Hafner is a portrait of Balthasar Mentzer I. The image shows Mentzer in a three-quarter view, wearing a ruff and a dark robe. The portrait is enclosed in an oval frame, with the subject's name and title inscribed around the edge in Latin. This small-scale engraving is a fine example of the portraiture popular in the 17th century.
