EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolour print captures the head of a woman in a frilled cap, dating back to around 1774. Created by artist Gabriel Bray, known for his fascination with unique heads, hairstyles, and headgear, this piece showcases a lady wearing a fashionable 'butterfly cap' popular in the 1770s.
The intricate details of the frilled cap and the delicate features of the woman's face are beautifully depicted in this artwork. The soft colors and fine lines bring out the elegance and sophistication of 18th-century fashion.
As you gaze at this portrait, you can't help but be transported back in time to an era where style and grace were paramount. The woman's expression is enigmatic, leaving us to wonder about her story and background. Perhaps she was a relative or muse of Bray's, immortalized forever in this stunning piece.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, this watercolour print is not just a work of art but also a window into history. It serves as a reminder of the beauty and intricacy of past fashion trends that continue to inspire us today.
