This stipple engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi, depicts Charles Brandon, the son of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. This image is a smaller version of a larger engraving made in 1798, and the plate is currently located at the Art Institute of Chicago. Bartolozzi used a stipple engraving technique that creates the image using dots, instead of lines, which gives the artwork a softer, more painterly effect.
