Essay:
Sebastian Spörlin was painted by Sarburgh during his time in Basel and must have been an important commission for Sarbugh owing to Spörlin's position as Burgomaster. Spörlin (1565 - 1644) lived his entire life in Basel and from 1588 slowly worked his way up the ladder of officialdom within the City finally becoming Mayor in 1621.

Private Collection, Switzerland
