EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs. Pelham Feeding Her Chickens," a captivating mezzotint print created by William Dickinson in 1775, offers a glimpse into the elegant and pastoral life of an aristocratic woman of the 18th century. The image features Mrs. Sophia Pelham, later known as Lady Sophia Aufrere, dressed in the grand style of the time, with a flowing floral dress and an elaborate cap adorned with ribbons. She stands in a serene countryside setting, surrounded by her chickens, as she tenderly feeds them from a bowl. The print, which is now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the artistic movement of the time, influenced by the works of Sir Joshua Reynolds. Reynolds, a renowned British painter, was known for his portraits of the aristocracy, and his influence is evident in Dickinson's meticulous attention to detail and the elegant pose of his subject. The black and white mezzotint on cream wove paper captures the intricacies of Mrs. Pelham's apparel, as well as the textures of the chickens and their surroundings. The image is a testament to the fusion of fashion, farming, and the aristocracy during the eighteenth century in Britain. The print invites the viewer to appreciate the simple pleasures of country life, while also highlighting the grandeur and sophistication of the aristocracy. Mrs. Pelham's portrait, with her gentle expression and nurturing posture, evokes a sense of warmth and tranquility. The image is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the past, and the enduring appeal of the rural idyll.
