This etching from 1787 showcases the esteemed Scottish chemist, Joseph Black (1728-1799), immortalized by the talented artist John Kay. In this portrait, Black stands tall and dignified, exuding an air of intellectual prowess and confidence. Dressed in a stylish black overcoat with intricate braid details, Black holds a cane in his hand, symbolizing both his refined taste and authority within the scientific community.

The etching beautifully captures the essence of Scotland's rich history of scientific discovery, as well as its contribution to the Enlightenment period. Joseph Black himself played a pivotal role in advancing chemistry through his groundbreaking research on heat transfer and carbon dioxide. His discoveries laid the foundation for modern thermodynamics and greatly influenced subsequent generations of scientists. John Kay's masterful technique brings out every detail of Black's distinguished features - from his sharp gaze to the subtle lines on his face that speak volumes about years spent delving into complex chemical equations. This print serves as a timeless tribute to one of Scotland's most influential figures in science and reminds us of how individuals like Joseph Black have shaped our understanding of the world around us.
