"The Dowager Queen of Edward the 4th Parting with the Duke of York to the Two Archbishops," is a stipple engraving created by Francesco Bartolozzi in possibly 1786. The print depicts a dramatic scene from English history, where the widowed Queen Elizabeth Woodville surrenders her son, the young Duke of York, to the custody of the Archbishops. Bartolozzi's use of stipple engraving, a technique popular in the 18th century, creates a delicate and nuanced image, highlighting the emotional intensity of the scene. The work is notable for its historical accuracy and attention to detail, making it a valuable source for understanding the visual culture of the period.
