"Portrait of Angelica Kauffman drawing the portrait of a man, bust-length" is an 18th-century stipple engraving by the Italian engraver Francesco Bartolozzi. The work is notable for its depiction of the prominent Swiss neoclassical painter Angelica Kauffman, who was one of the founding members of the Royal Academy of Arts in London. In this portrait, Kauffman is portrayed in the act of drawing a male sitter, whose identity is not specified. The composition focuses on Kauffman's profile as she intently studies her subject, capturing the intimate and concentrated moment of artistic creation.

Francesco Bartolozzi (1727–1815) was renowned for his mastery of the stipple engraving technique, which involves engraving an image with numerous small dots to create soft tonal effects. This method was particularly suited to reproducing the delicate textures and subtle gradations of flesh and fabric found in portraits. Bartolozzi's works were highly sought after in his time, and his engravings played a significant role in disseminating the images of prominent cultural figures across Europe.

The engraving serves not only as a representation of Kauffman's likeness but also as a testament to her status as a respected artist within the male-dominated art world of the 18th century. The work reflects the esteem in which Kauffman was held by her contemporaries and highlights her dual role as both artist and muse. The piece is an example of the cross-fertilization of the arts during the period, with Bartolozzi's printmaking skills amplifying Kauffman's own artistic achievements.

The "Portrait of Angelica Kauffman drawing the portrait of a man, bust-length" remains an important historical document, offering insight into the artistic milieu of the time and the role of women artists in the European Enlightenment.
