EDITORS COMMENTS
This pen and ink print by Thomas Baxter captures a moment in time from 1802, showing a group of three women and one man seated at a table, engaged in what appears to be a game of cards. The two women with their backs to the viewer draw us into the scene, while the third woman facing us is believed to be none other than Emma Hamilton.
On the left sits a young man identified as Horatio (Horace) Nelson, nephew of Admiral Nelson himself. This intimate gathering gives us a glimpse into the social interactions of the early 19th century, showcasing both leisurely activities and familial connections.
The intricate details in this sketch bring each figure to life, highlighting their individual expressions and postures. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, creating a sense of realism that draws viewers in.
Baxter's skillful hand brings out the personalities of each character portrayed in this artwork, making it not just a simple drawing but an insightful study of human interaction. This print from the National Maritime Museum offers a window into history, inviting us to imagine ourselves among these figures gathered around the table centuries ago.
