EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, created by Frederick Christian Lewis Sr. in approximately 1807, showcases the esteemed figure of William Sotheby. The portrait captures Sotheby's intellectual prowess and literary achievements as an English poet and translator of classical works. Sotheby, born in 1757 and passing away in 1833, dedicated his life to the study and interpretation of ancient texts. His translations included renowned pieces such as Oberon, Georgics, the Iliad, and the Odyssey. Through his meticulous work, he brought these timeless classics to a wider audience. Lewis Sr. , a skilled engraver from the same era (1779-1856), masterfully etched this image onto paper with remarkable attention to detail. The half-length portrayal exudes an air of wisdom and sophistication that befits Sotheby's reputation as a prominent writer during the Georgian period. This print is part of a private collection but has been made available for public appreciation through Fine Art Finder. It serves as a testament to both Sotheby's contributions to literature and Lewis Sr. 's talent for capturing the essence of his subjects on paper. The print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history by exploring not only Sotheby's legacy but also gaining insight into the artistic techniques employed during this time period.
