EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful ink and watercolour sketch, titled "Departure of Frank and Mrs. Maas," is a poignant depiction of a brother and his wife bidding farewell. Created by the skilled hand of Florence Hardy in circa 1893, this artwork adds a personal touch to the annals of history. Florence was the sister of renowned poster artist Dudley Hardy and the daughter of marine painter Thomas Bush Hardy, making art a family affair. The scene is set aboard a ship, with Frank, dressed in a smart coat and hat, and his wife, Mrs. Maas, in a flowing dress and bonnet, standing on the deck. The couple's faces are filled with a mixture of sadness and anticipation as they wave goodbye to loved ones on the shore. The watercolour background captures the tranquil beauty of the sea, with gentle waves lapping against the ship's side. The intricate details in the sketch, from the textures of the clothing to the expressions on the faces of the couple, showcase Florence's exceptional artistic abilities. The use of ink adds depth and definition to the image, while the watercolour brings a softness and delicacy to the scene. This artwork offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when travel by sea was a significant event. It also provides a window into the lives of the Hardy family, whose contributions to the art world continue to be celebrated. The "Departure of Frank and Mrs. Maas" is not only a beautiful work of art but also a poignant reminder of the emotions and experiences that come with saying goodbye.
