EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of the Duchess of St. Albans, with her Son" captures a tender moment between a mother and her child. Painted in 1875 by George Elgar Hicks, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 91.5 x 71cm and is now part of a private collection. The subjects of this painting are Grace, the second wife of William Amelius Aubrey de Vere, and their first son Lord Osborne de Vere. The artist skillfully portrays Grace as an elegant and loving mother, seated with her fair-haired son on her knee. Their affectionate bond is evident as they hold hands while looking away from the viewer. Hicks' attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke brings out the warmth and tenderness shared between mother and child. The composition showcases both figures in three-quarter length against a neutral background, allowing their connection to take center stage. This portrait not only serves as a historical record but also celebrates maternal love and family bonds that transcend time. It offers us a glimpse into the lives of aristocracy during late nineteenth-century England. As we gaze upon this beautiful artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' photo print, we can't help but be moved by its timeless beauty and emotional depth. It reminds us that love knows no boundaries or eras – it remains constant throughout history.
