EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait, painted by the renowned English artist Joseph Wright of Derby in 1765, captures the elegance and sophistication of Peter Perez Burdett and his first wife Hannah. Peter, a prominent English cartographer and artist, is depicted in an open-air setting, wearing a fashionable hat adorned with a ribbon and a coat with lace edging. His wife Hannah, equally stylish, wears a delicate necklace with pearls and a pair of elegant earrings. The couple's hands are delicately placed, one holding a glove and the other resting on a jeweled jewel box. The landscape in the background adds to the sense of tranquility and serenity. The painting, which is now housed in the National Gallery of the Czech Republic, showcases the great age and maturity of the couple, their love and companionship, and the fashion trends of the 18th century in Europe. The use of natural light and the subtle play of shadows further enhance the beauty and depth of the artwork, making it a true masterpiece of the period.
