EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century transports us back to ancient Greece, showcasing a lady seated gracefully with her exquisite possessions. The English School artist skillfully captures the essence of classical fashion and elegance in this print. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the lady herself, dressed in a stunning ancient Greek costume. Her flowing dress drapes beautifully around her figure, exuding timeless grace and sophistication. She sits regally on a footstool, displaying poise and confidence. In her hands, she holds an umbrella, which adds an intriguing element to the composition. This unexpected accessory not only shields her from the sun but also serves as a symbol of status and refinement. Beside her lies a pyxis or jewel box—a precious container for storing valuable gems or trinkets. Its intricate design suggests that it is no ordinary box; rather, it is adorned with ornate details befitting its owner's refined taste. This enchanting scene was originally created as an illustration for Thomas Hope's "Costume of the Ancients" publication in 1841. It offers us a glimpse into the opulent world of ancient Greek fashion and lifestyle. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can now appreciate this remarkable piece of artistry that celebrates both historical costume and artistic talent.
