EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "The Acting Manager, Mrs D Oyly Carte" captures the essence of a powerful woman in the late 19th century. Created by Walter Richard Sickert in 1884, this print showcases Helen Carte (also known as Helen Lenoir), the second wife of impresario and hotelier Richard D Oyly Carte. Measuring at 22.9x22.5 cm, this artwork is housed in the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA. The image depicts Mrs. D Oyly Carte seated at her desk in an elegant study illuminated by a lamp. Her poised and confident posture exudes authority and determination. Helen Carte was renowned for her stewardship of both the D Oyly Carte Opera Company and Savoy Hotel during her lifetime from May 12,1852 to May 5,1913. She played a crucial role in managing these establishments while also contributing to their success. Sickert's etching beautifully captures the ambiance of Mrs. D Oyly Carte's workspace with intricate details such as books on shelves and other elements that reflect her professional environment. As we gaze upon this portrait today, we are reminded of Helen Carte's significant contributions to both opera and hospitality industries—a testament to women breaking barriers even during times when gender equality was far from being achieved.
