EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait titled "Laura in Blacks, 1899" artist Alice Pike Barney beautifully captures the essence of a young Victorian woman. The painting, created in oil on canvas during the late 19th century, showcases Barney's exceptional talent and attention to detail. The subject of the artwork is Laura Clifford Barney, an educated and accomplished American woman who played a significant role in scientific institutions and educational establishments of her time. In this particular piece, Laura is depicted from behind, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to her persona. Barney's use of color brings life to the painting, with rich hues highlighting Laura's elegant black attire against a subtle background. The artist masterfully portrays Laura as a symbol of grace and sophistication that was characteristic of women during that era. This exquisite print now resides at the Smithsonian American Art Museum as part of their heritage art collection. It serves as a testament to both Alice Pike Barney's artistic prowess and Laura Clifford Barney's contribution to society. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time—a glimpse into the past where women like Laura defied societal norms by pursuing education and making their mark on history. Through this portrait, we celebrate not only these extraordinary individuals but also the progress made by women throughout generations.
