EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print, titled "Barges, Chiswick Mall," depicts a serene scene along the waterfront of Chiswick Mall in London, circa 1922. The image captures a group of moored barges, their wooden hulls reflecting the gentle ripples of the Thames. In the foreground, workmen can be seen tending to the boats, adding a sense of industry and activity to the otherwise tranquil setting. The print is an exquisite example of the aquatint technique, with its intricate tonal variations and fine details. The artist, Thomas Friedensen, masterfully conveys the play of light on the water and the textures of the boats and their surroundings. Thomas Friedensen was a Danish-born painter and etcher who exhibited his work extensively in Australia, including with the Australian Painter-Etchers Society in Sydney in June of 1922. His works often featured waterfront scenes, showcasing his deep appreciation for the natural beauty of the world around him. This print, with its timeless charm and evocative detail, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a quiet moment on the Thames over a century ago.
