Konrad Westermayr

Konrad Westermayr was an artist whose documented activity centers around the year 1775. His established legacy rests upon his output of high-quality prints, characterized primarily by biographical portraiture.

Six of Konrad Westermayr’s prints are currently represented in museum collections, confirming his practice as a skilled engraver of the period. The Rijksmuseum holds examples of his work, which typically features prominent historical or scientific figures.

Notable documented subjects include the five known portraits: Portret van Charles-Nicolas-Sigisbert Sonnini de Manoncourt, Portret van Domokos Teleki, and Portret van Guillaume Delisle. Other preserved works focus on figures such as Portret van John Hunter and Portret van Nevil Maskelyne.

Given the historical timing of his activity, many of the prints by Westermayr are now considered public domain. These images, held in institutional archives, are often made available as museum-quality, downloadable artwork for academic and research purposes.
