Francesco Bartolozzi (After), Picciola Preda Il Desi Nostro Appaga

A fine 19th-century engraving titled ‘Picciola preda il desi nostro appaga’ after a work by Francesco Zuccarelli (1702-1788). Zuccarelli’s engraving was in turn based upon a work by Francesco Bartolozzi (1725-1815). It depicts a relaxed bucolic scene with several figures - one of whom is fishing in a stream.

The engraving is housed within a later frame and glazed.

Conservation & History

We care profoundly about our role as custodians and every piece in the collection has been assessed by our conservator. When required, we undertake professional restoration carefully using reversible techniques and adopt a light touch to retain the aged charm of each work. We also restore frames rather than replace them as many are original and selected by the artists themselves.
