This stipple engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi, dating back to 1795, is a portrait of John More, son of Sir Thomas More. The engraving captures More in a thoughtful pose, his gaze directed downwards as he holds a book in his hands. The detailed rendering of More's features, particularly his expressive eyes, reflects the meticulous craftsmanship of stipple engraving. This work, part of the Art Institute of Chicago's collection, serves as a visual document of a historical figure and showcases Bartolozzi's mastery of the stipple technique.
