EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the lives of students on a day out in an art gallery in 1885. In this era, young ladies were often assigned hours of copying work as part of their education. Drawing and painting were considered suitable activities for women to engage in, providing them with the opportunity to earn a small income if needed.
The image showcases a group of women dressed in elegant clothing, engrossed in studying various works of art displayed around them. Their focused expressions reveal their dedication to honing their artistic skills and expanding their knowledge.
During the late nineteenth century, opportunities for women to pursue employment were limited, making occupations such as drawing and painting valuable avenues for financial independence. These young ladies are depicted not only as students but also as aspiring artists seeking to carve out a place for themselves in society.
As they carefully examine each piece with paintbrushes and palettes at hand, one can sense the determination and passion that drove these women towards self-improvement and creative expression. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and talent exhibited by female artists during this period of history.
