October 30 - 1793

"October" (1793) is a stipple engraving by the Italian-born artist Francesco Bartolozzi. It depicts a family harvesting fruit in an idyllic setting, with a man climbing a ladder to gather apples. The engraving captures the warmth and bounty of the fall season and aligns with the pastoral scenes of the 18th-century. The delicate lines of stipple engraving create a soft, harmonious effect that exemplifies the style popular during Bartolozzi's time.
