EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-tinted engraving, titled "Portrait of Two Children," captures the tender moment between Mary and Isabella Bloxam, two young sisters from Victorian England. The elder sister, Mary, is depicted with a gentle expression as she holds her younger sister, Isabella, in a reluctant embrace. Isabella, dressed in a frilly bonnet and a beautiful hand-painted dress, looks up at her older sister with a mix of curiosity and apprehension. Their hair, tied in neat curls, cascades down their shoulders, adding to the overall charm of the portrait. The engraving is a faithful reproduction of an original illustration by Sir Thomas Lawrence, a renowned British portrait painter of the 19th century. The illustration was published in P.G. Patmore's "Cabinet of Gems," a popular collection of engravings and sketches in crayon and pencil, published by Ackermann in London in 1837. The hand-tinting by Frederick Christian Lewis adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the portrait, bringing out the intricate details of the children's clothing and the rich colors of their dresses. The portrait is a beautiful representation of the close bond between two sisters, showcasing the innocence and beauty of childhood in the Victorian era. The delicate details, the vivid colors, and the tender expression on the faces of the children make this a truly captivating and timeless piece of art.
