Edward VI 1 - 1793

This stipple engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi, titled "Edward VI," depicts the young King of England in profile. The artwork, dated 1793, demonstrates Bartolozzi's mastery of the stipple technique, resulting in a delicate and detailed portrait. The print is a reproduction of a drawing by Hans Holbein the Younger, emphasizing its historical significance as an accurate likeness of Edward VI. The inscription "In His Majesty's Collection" suggests the print was part of a larger series, likely commissioned by a royal patron. This engraving is a fine example of 18th-century portraiture and British history, housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.
