The portrait follows the conventions of early eighteenth-century German printmaking, presenting the subject within an oval frame set against a classical architectural backdrop. Cotta is shown in a three-quarter view, wearing a voluminous periwig and a cravat, attire typical of the professional class of the period. The engraving demonstrates the technical precision of Wolfgang, who was active in Augsburg during this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is structured with a formal border containing Latin inscriptions that detail the subject's identity and dates of birth and death. Below the oval frame, a small coat of arms is positioned above a pedestal. This pedestal bears a German verse, which serves as a memorial tribute to Cotta, written by Andreas Adam Hochstetter. The text reflects the esteem in which Cotta was held within the academic community of Tübingen, noting his contributions to the world of books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWolfgang employs fine cross-hatching and varied line weights to render the texture of the subject's clothing and the soft curls of the periwig. The shading within the oval frame creates a sense of depth, drawing the viewer's attention to the facial features of the sitter. This work is a representative example of the commemorative portraiture produced for academic and civic figures in the Holy Roman Empire. It functions as both a record of an individual and a display of the engraver's skill in handling formal portrait conventions. The print remains a useful document for historians interested in the social and intellectual circles of eighteenth-century German university towns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/pastoral-landscape-with-the-ponte-molle-claude-lorrain\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePastoral Landscape with the Ponte Molle - Claude Lorrain — Claude Lorrain\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Andreas Matthäus Wolfgang","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58749487874383,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58749498655055,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58749498687823,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58749498720591,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58749498753359,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58749498786127,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58749498818895,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58749498851663,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58749498884431,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58749498917199,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58749498949967,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58749498982735,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-Johann-Georg-Cotta_Poster_CompositorV1_1789138382938.jpg?v=1789138953"},{"product_id":"portret-van-johannes-musaeus-andreas-matthaus-wolfgang","title":"Portret van Johannes Musaeus - Andreas Matthäus Wolfgang","description":"\u003cp\u003eA formal seventeenth-century engraving of the theologian Johannes Musaeus, featuring precise line work and traditional academic portrait elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Andreas Matthäus Wolfgang depicts the theologian Johannes Musaeus (1613-1691). The composition follows the conventions of late seventeenth-century academic portraiture, presenting the subject within a formal oval frame. Musaeus is shown in a three-quarter view, wearing the traditional clerical attire of the period, including a plain white collar and a dark academic gown. His expression is composed, reflecting the gravity associated with his position as a professor at the University of Jena.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print demonstrates the technical precision characteristic of Wolfgang, a member of a notable family of engravers based in Augsburg. The use of hatching and cross-hatching creates depth in the drapery of the clothing and models the facial features with clarity. The oval frame is inscribed with Latin text detailing the subject's identity and academic credentials. Below the portrait, a cartouche features a coat of arms incorporating a skull, a common memento mori motif in funerary and memorial portraiture of the era.

This print provides a clear example of how printmaking was utilised to disseminate the likenesses of prominent intellectuals, ensuring their image remained accessible to a wider academic audience.

The portrait follows the conventions of clerical and scholarly iconography common in the Baroque period. Jung is presented within an oval frame, a standard format for commemorative prints of the era.
