EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back to Rome in 1816. The image features three English Grand Tourists - Mr and Mrs Joseph Woodhead, along with Mrs Woodhead's brother, Mr Henry Comber. Dressed impeccably in their Georgian-era attire, they exude an air of elegance and sophistication. The drawing is a testament to the fashion trends of the time, showcasing the intricate details of their costumes. The men don dandy-like outfits while the women radiate grace and poise in their regal dresses. It is evident that great care was taken in capturing every nuance of their clothing. The composition highlights not only the individual personalities but also the strong bond between family members. Mr Comber stands proudly beside his sister and her husband, symbolizing unity and kinship during this grand adventure through Europe. As we gaze upon this portrait frozen in time, we are reminded of the significance of the Grand Tour - a rite of passage for young aristocrats seeking cultural enrichment. This journey allowed them to explore different countries' art, history, and architecture while broadening their horizons. Through this remarkable print from The Fitzwilliam Museum's collection, we catch a glimpse into an era long gone but forever preserved within these monochrome lines. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece crafted by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres himself – truly capturing the spirit of 19th-century England amidst Rome's
