"Portrait from a Medallion of Adam Smith" is an engraving by William Holl the Younger (1807–1871), a notable British engraver of the 19th century. The work is a representation of Adam Smith (1723–1790), the Scottish economist, philosopher, and author who is best known for his influential books "The Theory of Moral Sentiments" and "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations." The portrait is based on a medallion, which serves as a source for Holl's engraving, capturing the profile of Smith in a classical and commemorative format that was popular during the period.

William Holl the Younger was part of a family of engravers and was renowned for his portraits, which were often reproduced in books and periodicals. His work on the portrait of Adam Smith would have involved translating the medallion's image into an engraving, a process that required meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of light, shadow, and texture to achieve a lifelike result.

The portrait not only serves as an important visual historical record of one of the most influential figures in economics and moral philosophy but also reflects the Victorian era's interest in memorializing notable figures from the past. The engraving would have been used for educational purposes, in publications, and as a means of disseminating the image of Adam Smith to a broader audience, thereby contributing to his posthumous fame and recognition.

As a work of art, "Portrait from a Medallion of Adam Smith" by William Holl the Younger is an example of the engraver's craft and the period's aesthetic values. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of Adam Smith and the role of engraving in 19th-century visual culture.
