EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A Conscious Martyr, 1881 (1891)", artist George du Maurier skillfully captures the essence of a Victorian lady's annoyance. The scene unfolds with a standing female figure dressed in exquisite fashion, her parasol held firmly in hand. Engrossed in conversation, she furrows her brows and frowns disapprovingly at her companion. The monochrome artwork showcases du Maurier's talent for satire as he humorously portrays the woman's disgruntled expression. With meticulous detail, he highlights the intricate design of her dress and the delicate folds of her umbrella. This piece is part of Society Pictures, a collection drawn by du Maurier and selected from Punch magazine. Set against the backdrop of the 19th century, this print transports us to an era where social norms dictated proper behavior and etiquette. Through his artistry, du Maurier invites viewers to reflect on societal expectations placed upon women during that time period. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, we are reminded of how even seemingly trivial moments can hold deeper meaning. "A Conscious Martyr" serves as a timeless reminder that frustration and annoyance are universal emotions experienced by people across different centuries. This remarkable engraving by George du Maurier offers both aesthetic pleasure and insightful commentary on human nature within its simple yet evocative composition.
