Abstract: "Portrait of Giovanni Volpato, half-length, facing front, wearing cravat and felt hat; after Kauffman; closed letter state."--British Museum online catalogue
Description: Title engraved below image.
Date from British Museum catalogue.
Place of publication based on printmaker's known city of residence; Raffaello Morghen moved to Florence in 1793 (where he was appointed professor at an engraving academy), and remained. See British Museum online catalogue.
"Volpato was Morghen's teacher and father-in-law. The age given as 67 is a problem, as he was born in 1740 and died at the age of 63 in 1803. Presumably Volpato himself was unclear as to his age. The date of the print in 1800 is that of Maskell; Marini suggests 1799"--Curator's comments, British Museum online catalogue, registration no.: 1848,1125.389.
