EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: Etude De Matelot (Circa 1901) - A Portrait Sketch Study of an Old Sailor This evocative etude, or study, captures the essence of an old sailor in a moment of quiet reflection. The subject stands confidently with his hands casually placed in his trouser pockets, exuding an air of seasoned experience and wisdom. The artist, likely a member of the esteemed French group Les Maitres de la Caricature, skillfully renders the creases and wrinkles on the sailor's face and hands, adding depth and character to the portrait. The photograph, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, dates back to circa 1901. The sailor's attire, including his worn hat and simple work shirt, further emphasizes his occupation and the passage of time. The stark contrast between the light and shadow areas in the image adds depth and texture, while the sailor's piercing gaze engages the viewer and invites them to imagine the stories of his seafaring adventures. The Etude De Matelot is a poignant reminder of the rich history and traditions of the seafaring community, and the enduring appeal of the human spirit. This image is a must-have for any collection focused on maritime history, portraiture, or the art of the early 20th century.
