Adam von Bartsch - Portrait of Maria Anna Schaubach - 1785 - Kiss-Cut Stickers Design

This 1785 etching and engraving by Adam von Bartsch captures a detailed bust-length portrait of Maria Anna Schaubach with striking neoclassical precision.

Line Work & Portraiture

Rendered in the meticulous intaglio technique characteristic of the era, the composition relies on delicate cross-hatching and fine stippling to build volume and shadow. The subject's gaze is directed slightly away from the viewer, framed by the elaborate styling of her period-appropriate powdered coiffure and lace-trimmed collar, while the stark tonal contrasts emphasize the crisp linearity of von Bartsch's plates.

History & Printmaker Legacy

Adam von Bartsch is best known today as the foundational cataloger of Old Master prints and a towering figure in printmaking scholarship, yet his own hands produced refined portraiture documenting his contemporaries. This second state of two preserves the likeness of Maria Anna Schaubach through the exacting standards of late 18th-century Viennese print culture, reflecting the refined aesthetic tastes of Enlightenment-era portraiture collectors.

On the Kiss-Cut Stickers

The intricate linework and historic depth of this 18th-century etching are precisely isolated by the kiss-cut outline, transforming a rare museum-archive engraving into a sharp, peelable graphic ornament ready for flat indoor surfaces.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
