The image, painted with watercolors on ivory, captures his head and shoulders in exquisite detail. Holtzapffel's expertise in woodworking is evident as he stands proudly amidst a backdrop of intricate woodwork. Born in Strasbourg and later relocating to London in 1792, Holtzapffel established his mechanical and toolmaking business known as Holtzapffel & Co. by 1794.
