EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing ink and watercolour sketch, titled "Fancy Dress Costumes," is an exquisite creation by the talented hand of Florence Hardy, born in 1869. Florence was the sister of renowned poster artist Dudley Hardy and the daughter of marine painter Thomas Bush Hardy. The date of this artwork is estimated to be around 1893. Florence's artistic abilities were evident from a young age, and she studied under the tutelage of her father, Thomas, who was a well-known painter of the Royal Society of Marine Artists. Her brother, Dudley, also followed in their father's footsteps and became a successful poster artist, known for his dynamic and colorful designs. This particular sketch showcases Florence's skill in capturing the essence of fancy dress costumes with delicate precision. The costumes depicted in the sketch are reminiscent of the late Victorian era, with elaborate designs and intricate details. The use of ink and watercolour adds a sense of whimsy and playfulness to the piece, making it a charming representation of the fashion trends of the time. The historical significance of this artwork lies in its creation by a talented artist who was part of a renowned artistic family. The Hardy family's contributions to the art world during the late 19th century were significant, with Thomas, Dudley, and Florence all leaving their mark in their respective fields. This sketch is a testament to Florence's artistic talent and her unique perspective on the fashion trends of her time.
