{"product_id":"sincerity-francesco-bartolozzi","title":"Sincerity - Francesco Bartolozzi","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined stipple engraving from 1781 by Francesco Bartolozzi, based on a design by Angelica Kauffman, depicting an allegorical portrait of Sincerity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSincerity is a stipple engraving executed by Francesco Bartolozzi in 1781. The work is based on an original design by the Swiss-born painter Angelica Kauffman, whose collaboration with Bartolozzi was a defining feature of the London art market during the late eighteenth century. The print depicts a young woman in profile, captured within a delicate oval frame. Her expression is composed, and her posture suggests a quiet, reflective state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBartolozzi was a master of the stipple engraving technique, which uses small dots rather than lines to create tonal variations. This method allowed for the soft, painterly quality visible in the subject's skin and the folds of her garment. The texture of the paper and the subtle gradation of the stippled background provide a sense of volume and depth without the harshness of traditional cross-hatching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print reflects the Neoclassical interest in allegory and the idealised human form. By personifying a virtue such as Sincerity, the work aligns with the period's preference for moralising subjects presented through classical aesthetics. The inscription at the base indicates it was published by W. Palmer at 159 Strand, London, which was a common practice for disseminating high-quality prints to a growing middle-class audience. The collaboration between Kauffman and Bartolozzi was highly successful, as it combined Kauffman's graceful compositions with Bartolozzi's technical precision. This specific piece remains a clear example of the refined printmaking culture that flourished in Britain during the late Georgian era, where such works were often collected for private portfolios or framed for domestic display.\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=\"\/products\/grotesque-head-in-high-fur-cap-david-deuchar\" 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;\"\u003eGrotesque Head in High Fur Cap - David Deuchar — David Deuchar\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/william-cullen-bryant-alfred-jones\" 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;\"\u003eWilliam Cullen Bryant - Alfred Jones — Alfred Jones\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francesco Bartolozzi","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443321737551,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443328848207,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443328880975,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443328913743,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443328946511,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443328979279,"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":58443329012047,"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":58443329044815,"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":58443329077583,"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":58443329110351,"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":58443329143119,"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":58443329175887,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Sincerity_Poster_CompositorV1_1786225957347.jpg?v=1786410586","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/sincerity-francesco-bartolozzi","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
