Lady Diana Beauclerk del. F. Bartolozzi Etched.
Publish'd May 15th. 1780, by F. Bartolozzi No 1 Bentinck Street, in Berwick Street Soho.
Very fine and rare etching with stipple and hand colour, sheet 280 x 295mm (11 x 11¾"). Trimmed inside platemark. Mount burn and foxing.
Elizabeth, later Lady Herbert, drawing in a sketch-book leaning on her knees; her younger sister Mary, later Countess Jenison Walworth, seated behind her. Etching after a drawing by their mother, Lady Diana Beauclerk (1734 - 1808), a talented amateur artist whose designs were much admired by Horace Walpole. Etched by Francesco Bartolozzi (1725-1815), Italian printmaker who was invited to London by George III's librarian Richard Dalton, and who in 1768 was elected as a founding member of the Royal Academy in London. In England Bartolozzi became the most celebrated exponent of the 'stipple' technique whereby he produced prints using dots rather than lines. In 1801 he was invited to Lisbon to reform the royal printing press, and he spent his final years in Portugal.

A full-length portrait of Catharine Macaulay (1731-91) leaning on a plinth lettered 'Government a Power Delegated for the Happiness of Mankind Conducted by Wisdom Justice and Mercy. A reversed version of the painting by Robert Edge Pine, c.1775, depicting the author as a Roman senator (to convey her commitment to representative government), now in the National Portrait Gallery (NPG 5856). The painting also inspired a figure by the Chelsea-Derby Porcelain Factory (see BM 1887,0307,II.301). England's first female historian and the world's only female historian at the time, she is famous for her Whiggish 'The History of England from the Accession of James I to the Revolution'.
