– Half-length portrait of the German jurist Gottfried Daniel Hoffmann shown within a stone architectural niche. The sitter wears a wig and academic coat and holds a book and quill pen, symbols of his scholarly profession. A heraldic coat of arms appears beneath the frame above the inscription panel. Gottfried Daniel Hoffmann (19 February 1719, Tubingen – 1780) was a German jurist and professor of public and feudal law at the University of Tubingen. Educated at the same university, he became an influential legal scholar and served as councillor to the Duke of Wurttemberg. Hoffmann held the title of Comes Palatinus Caesareus and belonged to several learned societies, including those of Jena and Leipzig. His academic career reflects the important role of university jurists in the legal and administrative culture of the German states during the Enlightenment.
