The Antiquary, 1855
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Edwin White captures the essence of 19th-century America through its meticulous attention to detail. In this oil painting, we see a man engrossed in his profession as an antiquary, surrounded by a rich tapestry of historical artifacts and furniture. Dressed in traditional clothing of the era, the man's attire reflects both his occupation and the fashion trends of the time. His tights and hose add a touch of elegance to his ensemble while emphasizing his dedication to authenticity. With focused intensity, he examines a coin with great care, showcasing his expertise in numismatics. The interior setting exudes an air of sophistication and refinement. The room is adorned with ornate furniture that speaks volumes about the owner's taste for opulence. Every element within this scene tells a story - from the meticulously arranged objects on display to the warm color palette that envelops them. Edwin White's masterful brushstrokes bring life to this piece of heritage art. Through "The Antiquary" we are transported back in time to witness not only one man's passion for preserving history but also gain insight into American culture during this period. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this painting stands as a testament to White's artistic prowess and serves as an invaluable window into our nation's past.
