Henry Brandon 26 - 1798

This stipple engraving, "Henry Brandon," is a work by the prolific Italian artist Francesco Bartolozzi. The piece, executed in 1798, depicts a young boy, identified as Henry Brandon, son of Charles, Duke of Suffolk. The work is a fine example of Bartolozzi's mastery of the stipple engraving technique, which creates a soft, tonal effect through tiny dots of ink. The engraving is part of the Art Institute of Chicago's collection, and it is a testament to the artistic skill of Bartolozzi, who was one of the leading engravers of his time.
