EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Ellen Harper Walters" and created by George Augustus Baker in approximately 1859, showcases the elegant beauty and poised demeanor of Ellen Harper Walters, the wife of William T. Walters and mother of Henry Walters, founder of the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Ellen married William in 1846 and is depicted here in her prime, dressed in the height of Victorian fashion. Her brunette hair, styled in an intricate updo, frames her oval-shaped face and draws the eye to her expressive brown eyes, which seem to gaze thoughtfully away from the viewer. The painting's rich color palette and fine detail, achieved through Baker's skillful use of oil on fabric, highlight the textures of Ellen's neckline and the delicate folds of her clothing. The portrait's shape, with its classic head-and-shoulders composition, is a testament to the artistic mastery of George Augustus Baker Jr., who expertly captured the essence of this important figure in American history. This evocative image, a treasure of nineteenth-century American art, invites us to reflect on the heritage and traditions of a bygone era.
