February 1 - 1793

"February" is a stipple engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi, created in 1793. The print depicts a rural scene with a couple, a young girl, and two men working in a field. The work is characteristic of Bartolozzi's style, which is known for its delicate lines and soft, muted colors. This print is part of a larger series of engravings of the months, featuring the figures of people engaged in activities associated with their corresponding months. The work, which is now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a fine example of Bartolozzi's mastery of stipple engraving and a testament to the popularity of this genre during the 18th century.
