Two Women in Late 18th Century Dress
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pen and ink drawing by the British artist William Edward Frost, created in the late 18th or early 19th century. The artwork depicts two elegantly dressed women engaged in a lively conversation in a garden setting. The women, dressed in the fashion of the late 18th century, are adorned in rich blue garments, with intricate details and textures skillfully rendered in pen and blue ink and brush on ivory wove paper, tipped on cream wove paper. The women's dresses, reminiscent of the Rococo period in England, feature voluminous skirts, fitted bodices, and elaborate headdresses. Their fashionable attire, which was popular during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the time. The women's posture and facial expressions suggest a lighthearted and animated exchange, perhaps a gossiping session, adding a touch of human interest to the artwork. The location of the scene, a garden, further emphasizes the leisurely and relaxed atmosphere of the moment. The use of blue as the dominant color in the drawing adds a sense of calm and serenity, while the intricate details and textures bring the women and their dresses to life. This beautiful pen and ink drawing is a testament to the artistic skill and talent of William Edward Frost, and a valuable addition to the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is housed. The artwork offers a glimpse into the fashion and social customs of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, making it a must-see for anyone interested in art, fashion, and history.
