EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a half-length portrait study of a young woman with beautifully flowing long hair. Created in the mid-18th century, this artwork combines various mediums such as black and white chalks, brown ink, graphite, and blue laid paper to bring out the intricate details of the subject's features. The artist behind this masterpiece is believed to be part of the circle of Joseph van Aken, a Flemish painter from Antwerp who was active in London during that period. Van Aken specialized in painting draperies and was highly regarded among leading portraitists like Joseph Highmore, Thomas Hudson, and Allan Ramsay. In this particular piece, the focus lies on capturing the sitter's face while relying on Van Aken's expertise to finish off the rest of her figure. The delicate strokes and meticulous attention to detail reveal not only the technical skill but also an intimate understanding of portraiture. Measuring approximately 12 13/16 x 10 1/4 inches (32.5 x 26 cm), this drawing offers a glimpse into both the training of young Van Aken himself and his ability to capture human emotions through art. It serves as a testament to his talent as well as an exquisite addition to any art enthusiast's collection.
