EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning study of sculpture from the Elgin Marbles, drawn by the talented artist James Ward. The artwork, created with pencil on paper, measures 22.2x17.7 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. The image depicts a seated figure from the Parthenon east pediment, exuding an air of classical elegance and grace. The intricate drapery beautifully cascades down her form, emphasizing her feminine allure. It is believed that this figure may represent Hestia, the Greek goddess of hearth and home. Ward's meticulous attention to detail brings out every delicate curve and contour of this marble masterpiece. Through his skillful rendering, he captures not only the physical attributes but also imbues it with a sense of divine presence. This remarkable drawing transports viewers back to ancient Greece, evoking a sense of awe and wonder at its rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this work of art, we are reminded of the timeless beauty found within classical sculptures. Thanks to Bridgeman Art's expertise in preserving fine art prints like this one, we can continue to appreciate and be inspired by these masterpieces for generations to come.
