EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned couple, William Howitt (1792-1879) and Mary Howitt (1799-1888), in all their 19th-century elegance. The artist, Margaret Gillies, beautifully captures the essence of this power duo through her oil painting on ivory. In this interior setting, William stands tall with a pensive expression, exuding an air of wisdom and intellect. His dark attire contrasts against the wood panel backdrop, emphasizing his commanding presence. Meanwhile, seated gracefully on a red chair is Mary - a vision of poise and grace. Her lace collar adds a touch of delicacy to her ensemble as she engages in writing with utmost concentration. The composition perfectly encapsulates the harmonious partnership between these two remarkable individuals. While William's thoughtful stance suggests deep contemplation and perhaps even creative inspiration for his literary works, Mary's poised posture indicates her dedication to capturing their thoughts with precision using a quill pen. Gillies' attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork - from the intricate cuffs adorning William's sleeves to the fine lines that bring life to Mary's delicate features. This timeless piece serves as a testament to both the artistic skill of Margaret Gillies and the enduring legacy left behind by William and Mary Howitt
