EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pencil study by the renowned artist William Orpen, titled "Kneeling figure of a woman - study for The Holy Well". Created around 1914-15, this piece measures 58.5x47.5 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The image depicts a young woman kneeling in prayer, exuding an aura of piety and devotion. Clutching rosary beads tightly in her hands, she appears deeply engrossed in her spiritual contemplation. Her flowing robes and cloak envelop her figure, adding to the sense of solitude and faith that emanates from the artwork. Believed to be a portrait of artists model Connie Martin, this drawing captures both the physical beauty and inner spirituality of its subject. Through his meticulous sketching technique, Orpen manages to convey not only the external details but also the profound depth of emotion present within this devout woman. "The Holy Well" completed by Orpen in 1916, may have been inspired by this very study. It serves as a testament to the artist's ability to capture religious themes with sensitivity and grace. This powerful composition invites viewers into moments of quiet reflection on faith and devotion. Whether displayed as part of an art collection or used for personal inspiration, this print is sure to evoke feelings of reverence and contemplation among all who encounter it.
