'St. Cecilia' 1774

Francesco Bartolozzi's "St. Cecilia" (1774) is a stipple engraving depicting the patron saint of music looking upwards in a contemplative pose. The work is a fine example of Bartolozzi's mastery of the stipple engraving technique, which produces a soft, tonal effect with a subtle, textured surface. This work is part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection and measures 275 mm in height and 248 mm in width.
