EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Sketch Class Series - E.W. Perry, 1860," is a stunning work of art by renowned American artist John Quincy Adams Ward. The image depicts Enoch Wood Perry, Jr. (1816-1881) and his father, Enoch Wood Perry (1794-1858), both seated at a table filled with various drawing materials. The senior Perry is engaged in sketching a figure, while his son looks on, holding a pen and brown ink over graphite on wove paper. This evocative scene offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century American art and the daily life of an artist. The use of pen and brown ink over graphite creates a rich, textured effect, adding depth and dimension to the figures and the furniture in the room. The monochrome palette further emphasizes the historical and cultural significance of the work. Enoch Wood Perry, Sr. was a prominent figure in the American art scene, known for his portraits and genre scenes. His son, Enoch Wood Perry, Jr., also became a successful artist, specializing in figure studies and genre paintings. This print, part of the Sketch Class Series, is a testament to their shared passion for art and the importance of drawing as a foundational skill. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is home to this remarkable work, which is a must-see for anyone interested in American art and the history of art education. The print invites viewers to reflect on the heritage of art and the enduring value of the artistic process, as well as the close relationship between father and son.
