Portrait of a Man 24 - 1799

This stipple engraving, *Portrait of a Man*, created by Francesco Bartolozzi in 1799, depicts a man in a dark, high-collared coat and a round, flat cap. The engraving is characteristic of Bartolozzi's work, which often featured meticulous detail and soft, delicate lines. The print's inscription "In His Majesty's Collection" suggests it may have been commissioned or gifted to a royal patron. It's a good example of how portraiture was used to memorialize individuals during this time period. The image's soft, muted tones and careful attention to detail reflect the Neoclassical style popular at the end of the 18th century.
