A Scothman.
H. Bunbry Esq.r delin.t. A. Suntach direx.t.
Publish'd December 31.th 1793 by A. Suntach.
Rare stipple, face coloured in pink. 290 x 205mm (11½ x 8"), with large margins.
An idealised portrait of a Scottish soldier in short kilt, feathered bonnet and sporran. He is armed with a flintlock musket, claymore and dagger. Although this print looks like it was published in England, Antonio Suntach (1744-1828) worked in Venice, often copying the works of others, which accounts for the strange spelling of the title, artist and date.
Provenance: Ion Smeaton Munro (1883-1970) diplomat & writer.
[Ref: 52834] £260.00
