EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic and flamboyant Irish literary figure, Oscar Wilde, in the prime of his career around 1885. Wilde, born in Dublin in 1856, was a prolific playwright, novelist, essayist, and poet whose works continue to intrigue and inspire audiences around the world. In this image, Wilde is depicted sitting confidently in a gilded chair, dressed in the fashionable attire of the 1880s. His necktie, neatly tied, adds a touch of sophistication to his outfit. Wilde's hands rest casually on his knees, one holding a handkerchief, while the other displays a distinctive ring. A bouquet of flowers sits on the table beside him, adding a pop of color to the otherwise monochrome photograph. Wilde's expressive face, with its piercing gaze and finely-drawn features, exudes an air of intelligence and wit. His reputation as an aesthete and dandy is evident in his elegant appearance and refined demeanor. The portrait beautifully encapsulates the literary and artistic sensibilities of the 19th century, making it a must-have for any collection of literary or historical images. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, has been colorized by Mary Evans Picture Library to bring out the rich details and textures of the original image. The result is a stunning and vibrant portrait that invites the viewer to delve deeper into the fascinating life and works of one of Ireland's most beloved literary figures, Oscar Wilde.
