EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases one of six exquisite watercolour sketches by Cassandra Austen, the elder sister of renowned novelist Jane Austen. The collection was created as illustrations for Jane Austen's History of England in 1790. In this particular sketch, we are presented with a striking portrait of Mary Queen of Scotts. Cassandra's remarkable talent is evident in her delicate brushstrokes and meticulous attention to detail. She skillfully captures the essence of Mary Stuart, known as Mary I or Mary Stewart, who reigned over Scotland during the tumultuous 16th century. The queen's regal presence is enhanced by her majestic headdress and elegant attire, reflecting the fashion and style prevalent in Great Britain at that time. The connection between Cassandra and Jane Austen adds an intriguing layer to this artwork. As close sisters, their bond undoubtedly influenced their creative endeavors. It is fascinating to imagine them discussing history and literature while Cassandra brought these historical figures to life on paper. This photograph not only offers a glimpse into the artistic talents within the Austen family but also provides a window into British history and culture during the eighteenth century. It serves as a testament to both Cassandra's artistic prowess and her dedication to preserving important moments from England's past through her beautiful sketches.
