EDITORS COMMENTS
This mezzotint print showcases the esteemed Scottish physician, William Pitcairn, in all his 18th-century glory. Painted by the renowned artist Sir Joshua Reynolds in 1777, this portrait captures Pitcairn's commanding presence and intellectual prowess. Dressed in a traditional wig that was fashionable during the era, Pitcairn exudes an air of authority and sophistication. His piercing gaze reveals a deep understanding of his profession and a commitment to advancing medical knowledge. Sir Joshua Reynolds masterfully brings out the intricate details of Pitcairn's face through the technique of mezzotint. The soft shadows and delicate lines create a sense of depth and texture, making this artwork truly come alive.
