EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Only a Face at the Window" we are transported back to the 19th century, where a scene unfolds that is both mysterious and intriguing. The image depicts a window adorned with delicate lace curtains, through which we catch a glimpse of an enigmatic woman's face. Her expression is veiled in secrecy, leaving us wondering about her thoughts and emotions. The artist from the English School skillfully captures the essence of curiosity and longing as we observe this solitary figure peering out into the world beyond. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, enhancing its atmospheric quality. The women in this artwork wear elegant hats that were fashionable during that era, further immersing us in their time period. Their presence hints at a narrative waiting to be unraveled - perhaps they are eagerly awaiting someone's arrival or contemplating their own dreams and aspirations. This print, part of a private collection, was originally featured as an illustration for The Graphic on October 28th, 1893. It showcases not only technical mastery but also evokes nostalgia for bygone times when windows served as portals connecting different worlds. As we gaze upon "Only a Face at the Window" our imagination takes flight, weaving stories around this image captured by Bridgeman Images' Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection.
