EDITORS COMMENTS
The Courtship of Washington," an exquisite engraving on ivory wove paper by JC McRae, depicts a pivotal moment in American history - the courtship of General George Washington and Martha Dandridge Custis. The image captures the essence of the late 18th century, as Washington, dressed in military attire, stands before the elegant Martha Dandridge Custis, who is accompanied by her two children, Patsy and John Parke Custis. The scene takes place at the Custis estate in Virginia, with the beautiful countryside serving as the backdrop. Martha, dressed in the fashionable clothing of the time, looks lovingly at Washington, while her children gaze up at their future stepfather with curiosity. The tender moment is captured with intricate detail, from the folds of their clothing to the expressions on their faces. JC McRae, a skilled engraver, expertly translated the painting by an unknown artist into this beautiful print. The image, with its high contrast and fine lines, showcases the artist's mastery of the medium. The print is a testament to the rich history of American art and the enduring love story of one of the country's most iconic figures. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this rare and valuable print in its permanent collection. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving historical art and the stories it tells for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
