EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait of Priscilla Jones, painted by Thomas Barker of Bath in 1802, is a stunning example of the artist's mastery. The oil on canvas print, measuring 76.2x80.7 cm, now resides in The Holburne Museum in Bath, UK. Priscilla Jones herself exudes an air of elegance and grace as she gazes confidently at the viewer. Her attire speaks volumes about her status and taste during this period; she wears a fashionable bonnet adorned with delicate fringes that frame her face beautifully. A stylish hat tied under her chin adds a touch of sophistication to her ensemble. Half-length portrayed against a neutral backdrop, Priscilla's shawl drapes gracefully over one shoulder while gloves rest delicately in her hands. Every detail has been meticulously captured by Barker's brushstrokes - from the intricate patterns on her clothing to the subtle play of light and shadow across her features. It is worth noting that Priscilla Jones was not just any subject for Barker; she was his wife whom he married shortly after completing this painting. This intimate connection between artist and muse adds another layer of depth to this already remarkable piece. As we admire this timeless artwork today, it serves as a testament to both Barker's talent as an artist and his affection for his beloved wife.
