"Portret van een vrouw," a stipple engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi, depicts a woman in profile, her head slightly bowed and her gaze directed downwards. The delicate lines and soft shading create a sense of gentle melancholy. The artist's signature appears in the lower right corner, along with the date "1774." This work showcases Bartolozzi's mastery of stipple engraving, a technique he helped popularize in the late 18th century. This intimate portrait is a fine example of Bartolozzi's stylistic innovation, showcasing his skill in conveying emotion through subtle details.
