EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming portrait captures the innocence and beauty of Matilda Rose Herschel, aged 7, as painted by her talented sister Maria Sophia Herschel at the tender age of 11 in 1851. The delicate graphite and watercolor medium used to create this piece adds a softness to the image, highlighting the youthful features of M Rose.
In Victorian times, drawing lessons were an essential part of a young girl's education, even for those like the Herschel sisters who were encouraged to pursue more academic subjects such as science and languages. Maria Sophia's artistic skills shine through in this intimate portrayal of her beloved sister.
The intricate details in M Rose's braided hair showcase Maria Sophia's attention to detail and dedication to capturing her subject with precision. The side profile perspective gives us a glimpse into the gentle nature of this young girl, making us feel connected to her world over a century later.
As we admire this exquisite work of art from the National Maritime Museum in London, we are reminded of the bond between siblings and the timeless beauty that can be captured through art. Maria Sophia Herschel has left behind a legacy with this portrait that continues to captivate viewers with its simplicity and grace.
