EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the character of Mrs Pipchin, as depicted by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd) in the 1920s. The artwork, created using pen and ink with watercolor on paper, measures 28.5x22.5 cm and is housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia's Rare Book Department. Mrs Pipchin comes to life through this illustration from Charles Dickens' novel "Dombey & Son" originally published in installments between 1846 and 1848. In this scene, she stands tall and imposing, her hands firmly planted on her hips while wearing a stern expression that perfectly captures her no-nonsense personality. With her figure draped in an apron and donning a bonnet atop her head, Mrs Pipchin exudes authority as a matronly matriarch. Her scowling face reveals both strictness and determination, emphasizing her role as a formidable character within the story. Joseph Clayton Clarke's skillful brushwork brings out every detail of Mrs Pipchin's frown lines, adding depth to his portrayal of this literary figure. This painting exemplifies how illustrations can enhance our understanding of characters from beloved works of literature. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to the world created by Charles Dickens where memorable characters like Mrs Pipchin come alive through artistry and imagination.
