Note:	John Keyse Sherwin: An eminent line and stipple engraver and etcher of portraits, decorative and historical subjects, John Keyse Sherwin was born into a poor family. His considerable talents were recognized at an early age and John Sherwin thus became a pupil of John Astley, in 1769. John Keyse Sherwin then enrolled in the Royal Academy Schools in 1770 and studied under Bartolozzi until 1774. Even at this time, John Keyse Sherwin was considered one of England's finest engravers. Hence he received many important commissions, such as Hogarth's The Politician, which was published by Mrs. Jane Hogarth in 1775, and a memorial portrait of the British prime minister, William Pitt.
	During the following years John Keyse Sherwin continued to rise in professional esteem. In 1785 he succeeded William Woollett to the advantageous position of 'Engraver to the King' (George III). Despite John Sherwin's rapidly gained successes, however, it is said he lived a 'dissolute life', and he died in 1790 at the age of thirty-nine.
	John Keyse Sherwin was a master of many styles. Whether in stippling, engraving or etching, his imagery always exhibited the fluid and graceful lines of a late eighteenth century master. Published in 1790, Madonna and Child represents John Keyse Sherwin's last work of art before his untimely death. Constructed with circular etched lines as well as stippling it is a masterwork of form and movement.
