Judge More 1792

Francesco Bartolozzi's 1792 stipple engraving, "Judge More, Sr. 'The' More's Father," depicts a detailed portrait of a man in a fur-collared garment and a black cap. The engraving is a fine example of Bartolozzi's mastery of stipple engraving, which uses dots to create tonal values and a sense of depth. The work, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a historical artifact that offers insight into the artistic practices of the late 18th century.
