EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolour print by Myles Birket Foster that beautifully captures the bustling atmosphere of a 19th-century flower market. Measuring 45.7x71.1 cm, this artwork showcases Foster's mastery in combining delicate brushstrokes with vibrant bodycolour accents. In this scene, we are transported to the streets of Toulon, where a large group of people gathers around an array of market stalls filled with colorful blooms. The artist skillfully portrays the variety and abundance of flowers available as well as the diversity among the customers. Amidst the crowd, we see women adorned in Victorian attire carefully selecting their favorite blossoms while engaging in lively conversations. The elderly flower seller stands proudly behind her stall, showcasing her expertise and dedication to her craft. Foster's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition – from the assortment of flowers neatly arranged in baskets to each individual's posture and facial expression. The use of heightened bodycolour adds depth and vibrancy to the scene, enhancing its visual impact. This artwork not only serves as a testament to Foster's talent but also offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when flower markets were vibrant hubs of trade and social interaction. It reminds us that even amidst our busy lives, taking time to appreciate nature's beauty can bring joy and inspiration.
