EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a sketch titled "Sketch in Picardy, 1895" by the talented British artist Philip William May. Created in the late 19th century, this artwork showcases May's exceptional skills in caricature and pen-and-ink drawing. The scene depicts two men engaged in conversation amidst the picturesque countryside of Picardy, France. One man is portrayed as overweight with a large coat draped over his frame, while the other appears slim and slender. The contrast between their physical appearances highlights the concept of difference and diversity. May's attention to detail is evident in his use of graphite on ivory wove card, which adds depth and texture to the sketch. The artist skillfully captures not only the clothing worn by each character but also their distinct facial expressions and body language. As we observe this artwork at the Art Institute Chicago, it serves as a testament to May's artistic prowess and his ability to capture human characteristics with wit and humor. This piece invites us to reflect on societal norms surrounding body image while appreciating May's unique style. "Sketch in Picardy, 1895" stands as an important part of British heritage art, showcasing May's contribution to both English culture and international art movements during that era.
