{"product_id":"anne-countess-of-morton-john-scott","title":"Anne, Countess of Morton - John Scott","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined stipple engraving by John Scott, depicting Anne, Countess of Morton, with precise attention to period attire and delicate facial features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stipple engraving by John Scott depicts Anne, Countess of Morton, a figure associated with the seventeenth-century British aristocracy. The print employs the stipple technique, which uses small dots to create subtle gradations of tone and texture, a method popular in British printmaking during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The artist captures the subject in a bust-length format, focusing on the refined details of her attire and the soft modelling of her features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Countess is shown with ringlets framing her face, adorned with a floral hairpiece and pearl jewellery. Her gown features a fur-trimmed mantle, a detail that suggests the status and fashion of the period. The background is rendered with fine, parallel hatching, which provides a neutral space that allows the figure to emerge with clarity. The composition is balanced and restrained, reflecting the aesthetic preferences of the era for clear, readable portraiture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Scott was a noted engraver, particularly recognised for his work on animal subjects and portraiture. His technical proficiency is evident in the precise rendering of the textures, from the delicate pearls to the soft fur of the garment. This print serves as a record of historical portraiture, demonstrating the skill required to translate painted likenesses into the medium of engraving for wider circulation. The work maintains a formal quality, typical of the biographical collections and historical volumes for which such prints were often produced. It offers a glimpse into the visual culture of the period, where the reproduction of aristocratic portraits allowed for the dissemination of historical figures to a broader audience of collectors and scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/neo-classical-vases-in-a-landscape-jean-charles-delafosse\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNeo-classical Vases in a Landscape - Jean Charles Delafosse — Jean Charles Delafosse\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/hurdy-gurdy-player-jean-jacques-de-boissieu\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eHurdy-Gurdy Player - Jean-Jacques de Boissieu — Jean-Jacques de Boissieu\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"John Scott","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58760643477839,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58760679817551,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58760679850319,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58760679883087,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58760679915855,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58760679948623,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58760679981391,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58760680014159,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58760680046927,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58760680079695,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58760680112463,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58760680145231,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Anne-Countess-of-Morton_Poster_CompositorV1_1789256649897.jpg?v=1789256757","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/anne-countess-of-morton-john-scott","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
