EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Dr Haygarth" showcases the remarkable talent of artist James Sharples. Created with pastels on grey paper, this framed colour drawing offers a glimpse into the life and work of Dr John Haygarth. The half-length profile captures the essence of this esteemed physician who dedicated his career to combating infectious diseases. Dr Haygarth's expertise in treating fevers and preventing smallpox was groundbreaking during his time. His tireless efforts significantly reduced deaths caused by smallpox in Chester, where he practiced medicine and resided for several years starting from 1766. In 1798, he relocated to Bath, where he continued his medical practice until his passing. The portrait itself exudes a sense of professionalism and intellect. Dr Haygarth's focused gaze reflects both determination and compassion as he undoubtedly contemplates ways to alleviate human suffering caused by contagious illnesses. This artwork serves as a testament to his pioneering contributions in the field of medicine. Acquired by Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in 1931, this print is now part of their prestigious collection. It stands as an enduring symbol not only of Dr John Haygarth's legacy but also of the significant strides made in understanding infectious diseases throughout history. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this masterpiece from English art history, allowing us to appreciate its beauty while honoring the memory of an exceptional individual who dedicated himself to saving lives through medical advancements.
