1889 Drawn Floor New Prince Fortunatus W Small William Black Dashed Engagement Ring
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we witness a dramatic moment frozen in time. The scene unfolds with intense emotion as a woman defiantly drags off her engagement ring and hurls it forcefully onto the floor. The artist, W. Small, skillfully captures the raw intensity of this act through his meticulous drawing. The image is taken from "The New Prince Fortunatus" by William Black, published in 1889. It serves as a powerful visual representation of a pivotal moment within the story's narrative. The shattered dreams and broken promises are palpable as the ring crashes against the cold surface below. This evocative artwork invites us to contemplate themes of love, betrayal, and personal liberation. Perhaps this woman has found herself trapped in an unfulfilling relationship or discovered deceit that cannot be forgiven. Whatever her reasons may be, she boldly takes control of her own destiny by discarding what once symbolized commitment and unity. As viewers, we are left to ponder the consequences of such an action and empathize with the complex emotions that led to this decisive gesture. Through its timeless portrayal of human struggle and resilience, this print continues to resonate even after more than a century since its creation.
