EDITORS COMMENTS
Eventide at the Women's Ward of Westminster Union: A poignant portrayal of old age by Hubert von Herkomer Hubert von Herkomer's painting "Eventide" captures the somber atmosphere of the Women's Ward at the Westminster Union, a workhouse in London, circa 1910. This powerful artwork is a re-working of Herkomer's earlier illustration, "Old Age - A Study at the Westminster Union," which was originally published in The Graphic magazine in 1877. The painting depicts a group of elderly women, huddled together in a dimly lit room, their faces etched with the lines of time and hardship. Their clothing is worn and tattered, reflecting the harsh realities of their lives in the workhouse. The title "Eventide" suggests the end of the day and the approaching night, a metaphor for the end of life for these women. Herkomer's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of melancholy and introspection, drawing the viewer into the scene and inviting them to contemplate the lives of these women. The painting is a poignant reminder of the vulnerability and resilience of the elderly, particularly those who were left to fend for themselves in the workhouses of the time. The Women's Ward at the Westminster Union was just one of many institutions that provided shelter and care for the destitute and elderly in Victorian England. Herkomer's painting offers a glimpse into a world that is often forgotten or overlooked, shedding light on the human condition and the enduring power of art to evoke emotion and inspire empathy.
