Cavr. Ghezzi. del. [Engraved by Arthur Pond.]

Etching, 18th century watermark; 340 x 210mm (13¼ x 8¼"). Trimmed to plate on three sides, to image on right. Crease lower corner.
A caricature of Thomas Bentley LLD (1693 - 1742), classical scholar, probably on his grand tour 1725-6. After Pierleone Ghezzi (1674 - 1755), caricaturist and etcher who worked in Rome.

Crayon-manner, printed in brown ink, rare. 212 x 160mm. 8¼ x 6¼". Uncut.
