EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of a Lady" is a stunning example of the Aesthetic style that was popular in the late 19th century. Painted by Alphonse Legros, a French artist who settled in England, this oil on canvas print showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The woman's head takes center stage in this composition, with Legros deliberately leaving the background as bare canvas. This artistic choice allows for an interesting contrast between the fine painting of her face and the empty space behind her. The informality of this approach adds to the overall charm and allure of the piece. With muted colors and a thoughtful expression, this portrait exudes elegance and grace. It captures not only the physical features but also hints at the subject's inner thoughts and emotions. The profile view further enhances her mysterious aura, inviting viewers to contemplate her story. Interestingly, this particular artwork was painted during Legros' visit to Sunderland in 1879 when he went to see Thomas Dixon, a friend of renowned art critic John Ruskin who owned this very picture. Its presence in Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens today is testament to its historical significance. Intriguingly beautiful and rich with symbolism, "Portrait of a Lady" stands as an exquisite representation of both Legros' skill as an artist and the Aesthetic movement that swept through Europe during that era.
