EDITORS COMMENTS
Women Drying Selves by Pond, 1740/50, by William Taverner (1694-1748) This exquisite pen and ink drawing with watercolor and gouache over traces of graphite on tan laid paper, laid down on tan laid paper, is a captivating depiction of young women engaging in a simple yet intimate moment by a pond in 18th century England. The artist, William Taverner, masterfully captures the essence of the natural world and the human experience in this stunning work. The scene unfolds at the edge of a tranquil pond, surrounded by lush trees and vibrant plants. Several young women, naked and unselfconscious, are drying themselves after a bath. They are arranged in a group, their bodies intertwined and overlapping, creating a sense of community and camaraderie. The women's youthful vitality and natural beauty are on full display, as they bask in the sun and enjoy the simple pleasures of nature. Taverner's skillful use of brown ink and subtle color in this drawing adds depth and texture to the image, bringing the scene to life. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the trees, plants, and water, which are rendered with a sense of realism and sensitivity. The women's bodies, too, are depicted with a delicate touch, their curves and forms captured with a sensitivity and respect that speaks to the artist's appreciation for the human form. This drawing is a testament to Taverner's artistic talent and his ability to capture the beauty and complexity of the natural world and the human experience. It is a rare and precious work of art that continues to captivate and inspire viewers today, and a valuable addition to the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago.
