EDITORS COMMENTS
Two Men in Oriental Dress," a captivating artwork created by English artist George Hayter in 1827, is a graphite drawing on wove paper that transports viewers to a bygone era. The image features two men, elegantly dressed in the style of the Far East, seated in a serene setting. Sir George Hayter, a renowned British artist of the 19th century, expertly captured the intricate details of the men's oriental attire. The first figure wears a long, flowing robe with wide sleeves, adorned with intricate patterns and fringes. He dons a tall, conical headdress, topped with a small upturned brim and intricate decorations. The second man wears a similar robe, but his headdress is a turban, wrapped around his head and secured with a large, ornate brooch. The men's expressions are calm and contemplative, adding to the tranquil atmosphere of the scene. The background is simple, with a plain, textured wall and a small table between them, upon which rests a vase of flowers. This artwork is a testament to the influence of the East on European fashion during the Victorian era. The oriental craze, as it was known, was characterized by the adoption of Eastern styles and motifs in Western clothing and art. Hayter's "Two Men in Oriental Dress" is a prime example of this trend, showcasing the exotic and alluring nature of Eastern culture that captivated the European imagination. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is privileged to house this masterpiece, which continues to fascinate and inspire visitors with its intricate details and historical significance. This drawing is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, fashion, and the cultural exchange between Eastern and Western civilizations.
