EDITORS COMMENTS
Two Girls Playing on Combs" and "Sketch of Seated Woman with Fragment of Another Figure" are beautiful works on paper by Thomas Barker and Thomas Jones Barker, created around 1790. These intriguing artworks showcase the artistic skills and creativity of the father-son duo during the 19th century in Britain. The recto side of the sheet features Thomas Barker's charming depiction of two girls playfully engaging with combs. The girls are seated on a rustic bench, their expressions filled with delight and mischief as they run their combs through each other's hair. The simple yet captivating scene is rendered in charcoal with stumping, heightened with white chalk, on pale brown wove paper. On the verso, Thomas Jones Barker has sketched a seated woman with a fragment of another figure. The woman is portrayed with a thoughtful expression, her hands delicately folded in her lap. The fragment of another figure, partially visible in the background, adds an intriguing layer to the composition. The charcoal drawing showcases the artist's mastery of tone and form, creating a sense of depth and texture. These captivating works of art, showcasing the playful and the contemplative, are a testament to the artistic heritage of Britain during the 19th century. They invite us to explore the lives and stories of the people of that time, offering a glimpse into the past through the medium of art. These artworks are part of the rich collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, where they continue to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The Institute's dedication to preserving and sharing such valuable pieces of art heritage is a testament to its commitment to promoting the arts and fostering a deeper appreciation for the creative expressions of the past.
