Inscriptions: below image: Boucher, pinx. Ioh. Georg Hertel, exc. Aug. V. / Es ist die edle Hand des Mahlers hoch zu schäzen, / die, was vergangen ist, aufs neue praesentirt: / es kan des Ken[n]ers Aug sich ungemein ergözen, / wan[n] er bey dem Portrait den Pinsel weißlich führt. / Ob oculos ponit illa, quod abstulit aetas, / im[m]ortalesque reddit oblivione sepultos: / praesentes facit et saepe absentes amicos, / quare Laude numquam destituetur sua. / No. 12.
