"Side Parting: A Timeless Hairstyle Through the Ages" Step back in time with a captivating study of "side parting, " a hairstyle that has stood the test of time. In this collection, we explore various artworks and portraits that beautifully depict this classic hairdo. First up is Harrison Fisher's c1914 artwork, showcasing an elegant lady sporting a side parting. The meticulous details bring out the charm and sophistication of this early 20th-century trend. Moving on to Prof. Holden's mysterious portrait from between 1870 and 1880, we witness another example of side parting's enduring popularity. Despite its unknown creator, the piece exudes grace and refinement. Fast forward to 1939, where "The Yellow Blouse" by an anonymous artist captures a woman donning a side part with utmost grace. The oil on canvas technique adds depth to her stylish appearance. In contrast, Gota takes center stage in their 1933 portrait as they flaunt their side-parted locks laid on board. This unconventional approach showcases how versatile this hairstyle can be across different mediums. William Holman Hunt's pen and brown ink depiction from 1854 offers us a glimpse into the Victorian era when side partings were all the rage among both men and women alike. It exemplifies how this style transcends gender boundaries effortlessly. A seated figure painted in oil on canvas demonstrates yet another facet of side parting's allure – its ability to enhance facial features while maintaining an air of poise and elegance. Ray becomes our muse in his striking portrayal from 1891; his perfectly styled hair accentuates his strong features while embodying timeless beauty through the artistry of oil on canvas. Charles Savage Homer Jr. 's watercolor masterpiece presents "The Artist's Brother. " Here we see how even familial connections embraced the trend during the late nineteenth century – proof that side parts were not limited to formal settings.
