Three Oriental Heads
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pen and ink drawing by John Hamilton Mortimer, created around 1770-1775. This antique artwork, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases Mortimer's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of his subjects with intricate detail. The drawing, executed in pen and black ink on laid paper, consists of three circular depictions of Oriental heads, each with unique expressions and features. Mortimer's "Three Oriental Heads" is a testament to the artist's exploration of the exotic and unfamiliar during the 18th century. The circular composition adds a sense of symmetry and balance to the piece, while the use of contrasting white and black tones enhances the intricacy of the lines and the depth of the shadows. The drawing is an intriguing example of the concept of Orientalism, a cultural and artistic movement that emerged in Europe during the late 17th to the 19th centuries. This movement was characterized by a fascination with the cultures and peoples of the Middle East, Asia, and North Africa. Mortimer's "Three Oriental Heads" is a thought-provoking representation of the artist's interpretation of the Oriental world, laid down on paper for future generations to appreciate and study. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is proud to exhibit this historic artwork, which offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the past and the artistic traditions of the 18th century. Mortimer's "Three Oriental Heads" is a must-see for anyone interested in art history, Orientalism, or the depiction of people and culture in art.
