Portret van Adolph Ehrenreich von Puchaim 1646

This 1646 engraving by Elias Widemann portrays Adolph Ehrenreich von Puchaim, a military captain. The detailed etching, which measures 157 mm by 122 mm, showcases von Puchaim in a formal portrait with his chest and face prominently displayed. The inscription around the oval frame details his titles, "Adolphus Comes a Puchaim, S.C.R.M.E., Eques Militia Capitaneus" (Adolphus Count of Puchaim, His Imperial Majesty's, Knight of the Military Order, Captain). The inscription "Respice Finem" (Look to the end) encourages viewers to reflect on their own mortality. The artwork, now at the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the detailed realism and refined artistry of 17th-century printmaking.
