EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pastel portrait of Martha Washington, created by the talented artist James Sharples in 1796-97. The artwork, housed at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK, depicts Martha as a half-length figure in profile. She exudes elegance and grace while wearing a mob cap adorned with a delicate blue ribbon. Martha Washington, born Martha Dandridge in 1731, was not only known as the wife of George Washington but also held the esteemed title of being America's first lady. As her husband served as the inaugural President of the United States from 1789 to 1797, Martha played an influential role in shaping American history. The artist skillfully captures her beauty and poise against a backdrop that suggests light streaming through a window. This subtle detail adds depth to the composition and enhances Martha's radiant presence within it. This framed color drawing on paper is an exquisite representation of one of America's most prominent historical figures. Acquired by Bristol Museums, Galleries & Archives in 1931, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm and serves as a testament to both James Sharples' artistic talent and Martha Washington's enduring legacy.
