John Fabers Schabkunstblatt may have served as a template, for example considering the execution of Händel’s haircut. The facial parts are also comparable to the engraving of William Bromley of 1786. August Weger portrayed Handel several times in various variants. This engraving was printed separately as well as used as an illustration in books, e.g. as a frontispiece in: August Reißmann: Georg Friedrich Händel. His life and his works, Berlin, 1882.
Artist’s signature: A. Weger sc. Leipzig.
Inscription: G. F. Händel. [facsimilized signature]/* 23 February 1685 in Halle a. S./+ 13 April 1759 in London (fakHändel-Haus Halle Foundation)
