F.E. von Rochow

Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an engraved portrait of a man in profile wearing a traditional 18th-century coat with decorations and medals on his chest. His hair is styled in an 18th-century manner, with a large curl over the forehead and tied back in a ponytail. The man's expression is serious and contemplative. The name "Friedrich Eberhard von Rochau" is etched into a circular frame surrounding the image. Below the portrait is a decorative element with a relief of a woman with a child and an open book with an inscription. The background of the frame includes intricate engravings on a textured surface.
