EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Molly Wales Fobes, 1790" was skillfully created by the talented artist Rufus Hathaway. The painting showcases a remarkable woman named Molly Wales Fobes, who exudes elegance and grace in this exquisite artwork. Dressed in a stunning gown adorned with intricate details and vibrant colors, Molly stands confidently alongside her beloved feline companion. The cat's piercing eyes reflect its owner's poise and sophistication. Perched on Molly's shoulder is an enchanting parrot, adding a touch of whimsy to the composition. The artist masterfully captures the essence of 18th-century fashion through Molly's headdress embellished with ostrich feathers and her elaborate dress that flows gracefully around her figure. This portrayal not only highlights Molly as a fashionable trendsetter but also provides insight into the cultural norms of that era. Hathaway's use of oil on canvas brings depth and richness to every brushstroke, creating a lifelike representation that transports viewers back in time. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this masterpiece – from the delicate features on Molly's face to the intricately painted feathers adorning her attire. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this painting serves as a testament to American heritage art during the late 18th century. It offers us a glimpse into both artistic techniques prevalent at that time and societal values surrounding women and their pets. "Molly Wales Fobes" remains an enduring symbol of beauty
