118 Francesco Bartolozzi (1727–1815) after Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, called Il Guercino (1591–1666) – Woman Kneeling with a Child – Etching (1765)
This delicate etching portrays a woman kneeling and gently holding a child in her arms, leaning forward in an intimate gesture of care and affection. Draped fabric and soft shadows add a sense of tenderness and maternal warmth. The work is based on a drawing by the Italian Baroque master Il Guercino and was engraved by Francesco Bartolozzi in his refined linear style. The composition likely represents a sacred or allegorical theme rendered with emotional subtlety and technical grace.
The work was published by Francesco Bartolozzi in London in 1765. Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, known as Il Guercino, hailed from the town of Cento in the province of Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna in Northern Italy. He worked in Rome between 1621 and 1623, where he experienced his most productive and influential period of artistic creativity.
