EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Head of a Roman Model" by Frederic Leighton, a renowned British artist from the nineteenth century. The portrait style painting depicts a young female model with black hair, adorned with exquisite jewelry and a mesmerizing jewel on her forehead. With an air of aversion, she looks away from the viewer, adding an intriguing element to the composition. Leighton's masterful use of oil on paper laid down on canvas brings this mid-nineteenth-century artwork to life. The dark background accentuates the model's features and highlights her stunning accessories. Her elegant necklace and delicate earrings beautifully complement her classicist appearance. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only the physical attributes but also conveying emotions through his subject's gaze and posture. This quarter-length portrait emphasizes the woman's head and shoulders, allowing viewers to appreciate her beauty up close. As we delve into this piece of Victorian art, we are transported back in time to witness Leighton's artistic prowess firsthand. This artwork is a testament to his skill as an English artist during that era. With its rich history and timeless allure, "Head of a Roman Model" continues to captivate audiences today. It serves as both a remarkable example of portraiture in European art and as a tribute to Frederic Lord Leighton’s immense talent as one of Britain’s most celebrated artists.
