Portret van 'Mother Jak' Possibly 1797

"Portret van 'Mother Jak'" is a portrait print of an unnamed woman wearing a fur-lined cap and a white blouse, created by Francesco Bartolozzi in 1797. The portrait is a stipple engraving, a technique that creates tonal effects through dots, giving the image a soft, delicate look. The inscription "Mother Jak" suggests a connection to the sitter, although her identity remains a mystery. Bartolozzi's work was popular in the late 18th century, known for its precision and charming depictions of figures, often drawn from classical mythology and literature.
