EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs. Strother at the Piano, 1855" is a captivating pencil and wash on paper drawing by the renowned American artist, David Hunter Strother. This evocative image transports us back to the 1850s in the United States, where we find Mrs. Strother, the artist's wife, elegantly seated at a piano. Her off-the-shoulder evening dress, adorned with intricate patterns and rich colors, is a testament to the fashion trends of the time. The dress, with its full-length design, accentuates her graceful figure and flows seamlessly around her as she looks away from the viewer, lost in the music. The setting is that of a comfortable, country home, with a domestic scene unfolding before us. The piano, a popular musical instrument of the era, is positioned in the center of the room, atop a raised piano stool. The artist's skillful use of pencil and wash techniques brings the furniture and accessories to life, from the ornate details of the piano to the intricately patterned rug beneath her feet. Mrs. Strother's hairstyle, with its voluminous curls and elegant updo, is a reflection of the beauty standards of the time. Her hairdo, coupled with her refined attire, underscores the sophistication and elegance of the era. The photograph, while lacking color, does not detract from the drawing's charm. Instead, it adds a sense of timelessness and nostalgia, inviting us to ponder the lives of those who came before us. This work of art, created by David Hunter Strother in 1855, is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the domestic life of an artist's wife during the nineteenth century in America. It is a poignant reminder of the rich heritage of art and culture that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
