Ludolph Schrader, Professor of Law.

  • ARTIST:

  • MEDIUM: Etching and engraving,

    DATE: c. 1590

  • EDITION SIZE: Paper size 6 1/4 x 4 5/8" ( 16 x 11.9 cm)

  • DESCRIPTION: This engraved portrait is of Ludolph Schrader, the Braunschweig-born jurist and rector of the University of Frankfurt. This particular print likely predates the known 1751 edition. I believe this to be an earlier impression, as it lacks the ā€œ4Zā€ marking found in the upper right corner of that later state. The image follows the painting from the collection of Martin Friedrich Seidel and presents Schrader in formal attire, commemorating his distinguished career as a legal scholar, imperial advisor, and political figure of the Holy Roman Empire.

  • ADDITIONAL INFO: This piece is in a 6 x 7 inch archival mylar for handling.

  • CONDITION: Good condition.
