Nancy Storace Portrait By Pietro Bettelini

Portrait of Nancy Storace (1765-1817), English soprano. Printed in April 12, 1788 by Moltens Colnaghi & Co No. 32 Pall Mall, and in Paris by chez Tessari Zanna et Ce. Quay de Augustins No 42.

This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: There was a lot of staining to the paper, and one or two bits where either the hand-tinting hadn't been done very well, or water damage had occured. As the hand-tinting was generally done as a batch, and not by the artist who made the original engraving, I decided to try and make it look like the best possible copy of the mass-produced hand-tinted engraving..
