EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a bust-length portrait study of a young woman elegantly draped in a striped shawl. Created between 1740 and 1760, this artwork is rendered using black and white chalks, brown ink, graphite, and blue laid paper. The squared sheet measures approximately 10 x 8 13/16 inches (254 x 224 cm). The drawing is attributed to the circle of Joseph van Aken, a Flemish artist from Antwerp who was active in London during the mid-18th century. Van Aken specialized in painting draperies and collaborated with renowned portraitists such as Joseph Highmore, Thomas Hudson, and Allan Ramsay. In this particular piece, the focus lies on the sitter's face while the rest of her figure remains unfinished. This technique allows us to appreciate van Aken's skillful portrayal of delicate facial features and his reliance on other artists to complete the clothing details. The young woman exudes an air of gracefulness through her serene expression and stylish attire. Her striped shawl adds depth to her character while hinting at contemporary fashion trends during that period. This print from Liszt Collection offers viewers a glimpse into the world of portraiture during the British art scene in the mid-18th century. It serves as both an exquisite example of artistic craftsmanship and a historical document capturing societal norms and aesthetics from that era.
