EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Laura Lyttelton, nee Tennant, with her Eyes Downcast" is a stunning example of British art from the nineteenth century. Created by renowned artist Edward Coley Burne-Jones in 1885, this pencil drawing showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. In this close-up depiction, we see Laura Lyttelton lost in contemplation. Her head is turned slightly to the side, and her eyes are downcast with an expression of deep sadness. The artist's use of red and black chalk adds depth and intensity to the portrait. The Victorian era was known for its emphasis on proper behavior and restraint, which is reflected in this somber portrayal. Laura's posture exudes melancholia as she appears lost in thought amidst delicate foliage surrounding her. Burne-Jones was a prominent figure within the Pre-Raphaelite movement, known for his romanticized depictions of women. In this piece, he captures not only Laura's physical features but also conveys her inner emotions through subtle facial expressions. This fine art print offers viewers a glimpse into late nineteenth-century English society while showcasing Burne-Jones' mastery of portraiture. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly perfect exteriors lies fragility and hidden depths of emotion.
