The portrait is executed in the formal style characteristic of late 17th-century European printmaking. The subject is presented within an oval frame, a common convention for portraiture of the period, which directs the viewer's attention to the facial features and the elaborate turban.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBöner employs precise line work to define the textures of the subject's clothing and the folds of the headgear. The shading is achieved through a system of parallel lines and cross-hatching, which creates a sense of volume and depth. The inscription below the portrait identifies the figure as 'Ibraim Pascia Visir Agha di Giannizzari', reflecting the European fascination with Ottoman political figures during this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a German engraver active in Nuremberg, Böner produced a wide range of works, including portraits of contemporary figures and historical subjects. This print is typical of the period's interest in documenting the appearance of foreign dignitaries and military leaders. The technical execution demonstrates the disciplined approach of the Nuremberg school of printmakers, who prioritised clarity and structural accuracy. The composition is balanced and restrained, focusing on the dignity of the sitter rather than decorative embellishment. The print remains a record of how Ottoman figures were visualised and interpreted by European artists in the centuries following their peak political influence.\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=\"\/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=\"\/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":"Johann Alexander Boener","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58805875441999,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58805887631695,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58805887664463,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58805887697231,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58805887729999,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58805887762767,"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":58805887795535,"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":58805887828303,"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":58805887861071,"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":58805887893839,"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":58805887926607,"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":58805887959375,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portret-van-Pargal-Ibrahim-Pasha_Poster_CompositorV1_1789653779793.jpg?v=1789654502"},{"product_id":"portret-van-johann-gotz-johann-alexander-boner","title":"Portret van Johann Götz - Johann Alexander Böner","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed seventeenth-century engraving by Johann Alexander Böner, depicting the clergyman Johann Götz within an ornate Baroque cartouche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Johann Alexander Böner depicts Johann Götz, a figure of ecclesiastical standing. The portrait follows the conventions of seventeenth-century German printmaking, where the subject is presented within a formal oval frame. The sitter wears a ruff, a garment that suggests a slightly earlier fashion or a conservative clerical style, paired with a dark doublet. His expression is direct, with the gaze meeting the viewer, a common approach in commemorative portraiture of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surrounding cartouche is a characteristic element of Baroque graphic design. It features scrollwork and volutes that provide a decorative border to the central image. Below the portrait, the inscription identifies the sitter as M.

The Latin text provides a formal record of his identity and professional status, typical of the era's biographical prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBöner, based in Nuremberg, was a prolific engraver known for his technical precision.

The background behind the sitter features a subtle grid pattern, which adds a sense of depth without distracting from the primary subject.
