With Pride Upon Her Brow,
EDITORS COMMENTS
an exquisite black chalk, pen and ink grey wash drawing by the renowned American artist Edwin Austin Abbey, created in the late 19th century, captures a poignant moment in the life of a young girl and her brothers. The drawing, which is now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to Abbey's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of human emotion and the passage of time. The scene unfolds on a bustling American street, where the girl, dressed in a simple yet elegant dress, proudly holds a ribbon in her hand, beaming with joy and accomplishment. Her two brothers, dressed in typical turn-of-the-century attire, look on with admiration and pride. The use of black chalk, pen and ink, and grey wash, heightened with white, creates a sense of depth and texture, bringing the figures and the scene to life. The drawing is a depiction of a moment in the lives of these children, a moment of triumph and joy, which is universal and timeless. It is a scene that could have been played out on the streets of any American town during the 19th century, yet it remains relevant and relatable today. The drawing is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the culture and heritage of a bygone era. Abbey's masterful use of black and grey tones creates a sense of contrast and depth, with the white highlights adding a sense of light and brightness. The drawing is a masterpiece of black and white art, showcasing the artist's exceptional skill and vision. "With Pride Upon Her Brow" is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of American art, or for those who appreciate the beauty and power of a simple yet profound scene. It is a drawing that speaks to the human spirit, reminding us of the joy and pride that can be found in the smallest of moments in life.
