Old Willie - The Village Worthy, 1886
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting that transports viewers back to the Victorian era. Created by James Guthrie, this masterpiece measures 60.8x50.8 cm and can be found at the Art Gallery and Museum in Kelvingrove, Glasgow. The portrait depicts Old Willie, an elderly man who exudes wisdom and resilience. With his mutton chops and sideburns framing his weathered face, he represents the salt of the earth – a true embodiment of old age and experience. Dressed in a waistcoat that speaks of simpler times, Old Willie's determined gaze reveals a life filled with hardships endured with unwavering strength. His resolute expression reflects the struggles faced by villagers during that period. Guthrie's attention to detail captures every wrinkle on Old Willie's face, telling stories of countless years lived through both joyous moments and difficult times. This painting serves as a poignant reminder of the passing of time and the beauty found within aged faces. As part of Glasgow School art movement from Kirkcudbright region, Guthrie showcases his mastery in capturing human emotions through brushstrokes. "Old Willie - The Village Worthy" stands as an exceptional example of portraiture from this era. Bridgeman Images brings us this remarkable print which allows us to appreciate Guthrie's work even if we cannot visit it personally at Glasgow Museums Collection.
