MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS, AS WIDOW OF FRANCIS II.

Bartolozzi developed his style to imitate the subtleties of renaissance and baroque chalk drawings and became deservedly famous for his stipple engraving. The portraits in this collection show how effective this technique was in reproducing with such incredible fidelity Holbein's original designs. Accompanied by a biographical tract giving a brief account of this important historical figure up to her return to Scotland in 1561, after the death of her husband Francis II of France the previous year.

Very good condition.
