About this work

This is a portrait print from 1791. It shows Mrs. Tickell, made with tiny dots of ink called stippling. The artist used this method to create soft shadows and smooth tones. Stippling was popular in the late 1700s. It let artists copy paintings or prints with lots of detail but no harsh lines. This one was published in London by J. Conde.
