Sleeping Beauties, 1942
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and enchanting piece of art captured by Joseph Edward Southall. In this tempera print, we are transported to a fairyland where time stands still. The scene depicts four women, dressed in traditional British attire, taking a moment of respite from their daily chores as they rest on the river bank. The tiredness is evident on their faces as they doze off peacefully, accompanied by a faithful dog at their side. Their worn-out clothes and hand gestures indicate the exhaustion that comes with their domestic duties. Yet amidst the fatigue, there is an air of magic and fantasy surrounding them. The artist's attention to detail shines through in every aspect of this composition - from the flowing tunic worn by one woman to the stringed instrument resting against another's lap. The natural beauty of the outdoor setting adds to the overall serenity portrayed in this artwork. As we gaze upon "Sleeping Beauties" we are reminded of classic fairytales where dreams come true and enchantment fills the air. It captures a moment frozen in time when even hardworking individuals can find solace and tranquility. This mid-20th century painting not only showcases Southall's artistic talent but also serves as a testament to human nature - our need for rest and rejuvenation amidst life's demands. It invites us into its magical world, allowing us to escape reality for just a brief moment while appreciating both beauty and weariness simultaneously.
