EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Head of an Angel" by John La Farge. Created in the nineteenth century, this Christian-themed piece reflects a sense of deep contemplation and spirituality. The portrait-style composition focuses on a female figure with quarter-length brown hair, her head and shoulders gracefully depicted against a backdrop of vibrant colors. La Farge's masterful use of gouache and pastel on paper laid on paper brings out the angel's serene expression, as she appears lost in thought with her eyes closed. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, from the delicate rendering of the angel's wings to the subtle shading that adds depth to her facial features. The woman portrayed exudes an air of tranquility and introspection, inviting viewers to join her in a moment of meditation. Her attire, consisting of an orange-colored dress layered with an outer garment, further emphasizes her ethereal presence. This remarkable artwork captures not only the skillful technique employed by La Farge but also his ability to convey emotions through portraiture. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported back in time to witness a profound exploration of faith and spirituality. Displayed within a private collection and now immortalized through this print by Bridgeman Images, "Head of an Angel" serves as a timeless reminder of art's power to inspire contemplation and evoke profound thoughts about our place in the world.
