EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the elegant Miss Fordyce, engraved by Richard Purcell (also known as Charles or Philip Corbutt) in the late 18th century. Measuring at 37.9x27.2 cm, this mezzotint engraving was created after a portrait by renowned artist Joshua Reynolds. Miss Fordyce, later known as Mrs. Greenwood and sister of prominent banker Alexander Fordyce, exudes grace and beauty in this stunning portrayal. She is depicted with a stringed instrument, her fingers delicately strumming the guitar strings with expertise and passion. The veil that partially covers her face adds an air of mystery to the composition while also highlighting her femininity and elegance. The roundel framing around her portrait enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of this engraving. Displayed in the Gerald Coke Handel Collection at London's Foundling Museum, this artwork offers a glimpse into Georgian society's love for music and its appreciation for talented musicians like Miss Fordyce. As we admire this exquisite piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to a time when music played an essential role in social gatherings and cultural expression. This print serves as a reminder of both Miss Fordyce's musical prowess and her contribution to the vibrant artistic scene of 18th-century England.
