Old Barty the Besom Maker
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating portrait captured by Henry Perlee Parker in pencil and watercolor on paper. The artwork, measuring 19.0x26.5 cm, can be found at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. The image showcases Old Barty engrossed in his craft as he meticulously trims a besom broom with a knife. His weathered face tells tales of experience and wisdom gained over years of dedication to his trade. The artist's attention to detail brings out every line and wrinkle on Old Barty's face, revealing the hardships endured throughout his life. In this intimate portrayal, we witness Old Barty taking a momentary break from work to enjoy a pipe while surrounded by tools of his trade. The smoke gently wafts around him, adding an ethereal quality to the scene. Parker skillfully captures not only the physical appearance but also the essence of this hardworking individual through delicate strokes and subtle shades of color. This evocative sketch transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship that was once so prevalent. This remarkable piece stands as a testament to both Parker's artistic talent and Old Barty's resilience as he continues his laborious task amidst challenging circumstances. It serves as a reminder of the unsung heroes who dedicated their lives to traditional trades that have now become rare relics of our past.
