EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "John Wilkes and Miss Gertrude Carmontelle" by Louis Carrogis, also known as Carmontelle, showcases the artistic mastery of the French artist. The composition measures 30.3x17.7 cm and is part of a private collection. In this late eighteenth-century piece, we see John Wilkes seated on an elegant chair next to Miss Gertrude Carmontelle. The scene takes place indoors, with a window providing soft daylight that illuminates their figures. Both subjects are posed in a relaxed manner, allowing us to appreciate the fine details of their attire. Wilkes dons a striped jacket that reflects the fashion trends of the time, while Miss Gertrude's garment features intricate patterns that accentuate her elegance. Their hand gestures convey an air of sophistication and grace. Carmontelle's attention to architectural elements is evident in the arched backdrop behind them, adding depth and visual interest to the composition. An open book rests on Wilkes' lap, suggesting an educational role or intellectual pursuit. The use of black lead, red chalk, and watercolor creates a harmonious blend of colors throughout the artwork. This combination enhances both texture and depth within each figure. Overall, this exquisite piece exemplifies Carmontelle's skillful technique in capturing not only physical appearances but also conveying emotions through his subjects' postures and expressions. It serves as a testament to his contribution to French art during this period.
