EDITORS COMMENTS
Woman Resting Her Head on a Book, 1770, by Angelica Kauffman (1741-1807) Angelica Kauffman, a Swiss-born artist of the 18th century, created this etching and aquatint in brown on buff laid paper titled "Woman Resting Her Head on a Book." This artwork, dated 1770, showcases Kauffman's exceptional skill in the realm of prints and drawings. The image portrays a woman, her head gently resting on an open book. The woman's serene expression and the peaceful setting suggest a deep engagement with the literary world. This metaphorical representation of knowledge as power was a common theme during the Enlightenment era, emphasizing the importance of learning and education. The woman's attire, with its rich fabrics and elegant accessories, reflects the refined taste and sophistication of the time. Her posture, with one hand holding the book open and the other resting on her chest, conveys a sense of contemplation and introspection. The location of this artwork in the Art Institute of Chicago's collection is a testament to its historical and artistic significance. The image, with its intricate details and subtle shading, invites viewers to explore the depths of the woman's thoughts and the power of the written word. Maria Anna Angelika Kauffmann, as she was also known, was a prolific artist whose works spanned various genres, including portraits, history paintings, and landscapes. Her mastery of different techniques, including etching, set her apart as a leading artist of her time. This etching, with its intricate details and thought-provoking subject matter, continues to captivate audiences and inspire new interpretations, making it a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery.
