EDITORS COMMENTS
This mezzotint print, titled "Daughters of Sir Thomas Frankland Bart (The Sisters)," was created by the renowned British artist William Ward in the late 18th century. The intricately detailed work of art, executed on laid paper, showcases the likenesses of three sisters, seated in a serene and elegant setting. The sisters, dressed in fashionable attire of the time, are depicted in a scene that exudes a sense of warmth and familial affection. Sir Thomas Frankland Bart is believed to be the father of the sisters, and the portrait was likely commissioned as a tribute to the close bond between the siblings. The artist, John Hoppner, who was known for his skilled depictions of figures and scenes, was a popular choice for such commissions during the 18th century. The mezzotint technique, a method of printmaking that involves the use of a tool to roughen the surface of a copper plate, allowing ink to pool and create tonal variations, was a popular choice for creating intricately detailed portraits during this period. The result is a stunning, grey-toned image that brings the sisters to life, capturing their individual personalities and the connection they share as siblings. This beautiful work of art is now part of the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it is admired by visitors from around the world for its historical significance and artistic merit. The print is a testament to the enduring appeal of portraiture as a means of preserving the memories and stories of the past, and serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Britain during the 18th century.
