EDITORS COMMENTS
This pen and ink print, titled "Youth in ancient British costume" transports us back to the year 1611. Created by the talented Inigo Jones, a prominent figure in English architecture and stage design during the Stuart era, this artwork is believed to be a possible design for Oberon, the Faerie Prince by Ben Jonson. The youth depicted in this image stands confidently with his hand on his hip, dressed in an elaborate courtly attire that represents ancient Britain. The intricate details of his costume showcase the exquisite fashion of that time period. With its exotic flair and theatrical charm, this drawing captures the essence of Jacobean masquerades and pageants. Jones's expertise as a designer shines through as he brings to life this character from another era. The artist's skillful use of pen and ink creates depth and texture within each stroke, adding richness to every detail. As we gaze upon this historical gem from The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth House, we are transported into a world where entertainment was grandiose and costumes were works of art. This print serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage while also showcasing Jones's immense talent as both an architect and artist. Reproduced here with permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, this piece offers us a glimpse into the past—a testament to how art can transcend time and continue to captivate audiences centuries later.
