Caroline Watson

Caroline Watson is represented in this archive by a single sheet, Young Bacchus, executed in stipple engraving. That technique, with its fine dotted modelling, places her within the late eighteenth-century British printmaking tradition she worked in. The collection's holding dates from 1786, and any impressions up to that year reflect the same period of production. Together they offer a compact point of entry into her work as an engraver of mythological subjects.
