The Favourite, 1901
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by the renowned artist John William Godward. This exquisite piece, measuring 59.4x72.4 cm, showcases his mastery in capturing the beauty and grace of female figures. Set against an idyllic outdoor backdrop, we see a young woman elegantly seated on a marble bench adorned with Grecian motifs. Dressed in an elaborate costume with feathers delicately placed in her hair, she exudes an air of sophistication and refinement. The focal point of this enchanting scene is undoubtedly the playful interaction between the woman and her feline companion. A small kitten playfully paws at her feathered accessory while she gazes down at it affectionately. The juxtaposition of their contrasting sizes adds a touch of whimsy to the composition. Godward's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate folds of fabric that drape gracefully around the woman's figure to the meticulously rendered textures on the marble bench. The neo-classical influence can be seen through his choice of subject matter and architectural elements such as the exedra in which they are situated. This particular print captures all these nuances beautifully, allowing viewers to appreciate Godward's skillful technique up close. It serves as a testament to his ability to transport us back in time through art, immersing us into a world where elegance reigns supreme.
