Contadina degli Stati di Parma e Modena.
H.W.Bunbury delin. J.Bretherton. f.
Publish'd as the Act dircts 3.d Feb.y 1773. By J.Bretherton No.134 New Bond Street.
Etching with fine hand colour, sheet 265 x 185mm (10½ x 7¼"). Trimmed to plate. Top right corner of paper missing.
Two Italian women, wearing traditional costumes from Parma and Modena, stand next to a customs building, 'Qui si paga la gabella', accompanied by a dog. One of a series of costume prints. Etched after Henry Bunbury, an amateur printmaker who subsequently enjoyed a successful career as a designer for printsellers. 'Prints by Bunbury an his imitators were conspicuously 'polite' and appealed, like novels, 'To the Fashionable World and Polite circles'. Of good family, amply endowed with social skills, a beautiful wife and connections in high society, Bunbury's appeal was not solely aesthetic' and his admirers 'recognized his comic talent, his informed enthusiasm for literature, and his ability to draw a momentary pang with something of the sensitivity with which Sterne could write it' (Clayton).
