EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable portrait of Abraham Symonds, skillfully recreated by the renowned artist Sir Godfrey Kneller. The pen and ink technique combined with delicate washes on paper bring out the intricate details of Symonds' features, making this artwork truly mesmerizing. Abraham Symonds, also known as Simon, was an exceptionally talented wax modeller and medal embosser during the 17th century. His expertise in these crafts earned him great recognition among his peers and patrons alike. In this portrait, he exudes an air of confidence and wisdom as he sits comfortably with a distinguished beard adorning his face. The composition beautifully captures Symonds in a half-length pose, allowing viewers to appreciate both his physical appearance and artistic prowess. The artist George Vertue masterfully reproduced Kneller's original work, ensuring that every stroke reflects the essence of Symonds' character. Currently housed at the British Museum in London, UK, this exquisite piece serves as a testament to both Symonds' talent and the enduring power of art to capture history. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back in time to witness the brilliance of one man's craftsmanship.
