EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pen and ink print captures the elegance and grace of Nelson's nieces, Miss Bolton and Charlotte Nelson, later Lady Hood, in 1802. The two young women stand behind a seated figure, their arms interlinked in front of her. Although not explicitly stated in the inscription, the central figure is believed to be Emma Hamilton, recognizable by her distinctive silhouette.
The delicate lines and intricate details of this artwork by Thomas Baxter showcase the beauty and sophistication of these women from the early 19th century. The sketches of Lady Hamilton underneath further add to the historical significance of this piece.
Through this portrait, we are transported back in time to a period when fashion was elaborate and refined. The costumes worn by these ladies reflect the trends of the late 18th century with a touch of modernity that was characteristic of that era.
This print is not just a work of art but also a glimpse into the lives of an influential family during a pivotal moment in history. It serves as a reminder of the legacy left behind by figures like Admiral Lord Nelson and his beloved nieces who played significant roles in shaping their world.
