EDITORS COMMENTS
The Beggar Maid," a captivating work of art by Frances Brundage, dates back to 1914 and brings to life the timeless tale of "King Cophetua of Ethiopia and the Beggar-maid," a 16th-century ballad that continues to enchant audiences with its poignant story of love and compassion. In this evocative print, Brundage masterfully depicts the moment when the regal King Cophetua, with a kind and curious gaze, extends his hand to the humble and destitute Penelophon, the beggar maid. The scene is set against the backdrop of a serene landscape, with the sun casting a warm glow over the lush greenery and the tranquil waters of a nearby pond. The King, dressed in rich robes and adorned with a crown, is depicted with an open-hearted expression, as if he has already been captivated by Penelophon's beauty and grace, despite her impoverished appearance. Penelophon, on the other hand, looks up at the King with a mixture of surprise and apprehension, her hands still outstretched in the hope of receiving alms. Brundage's use of color and light in this print is truly remarkable. The vibrant hues of the King's clothing and the rich greens of the landscape contrast beautifully with the muted tones of Penelophon's ragged attire, drawing attention to the stark contrast between their social stations. Yet, the warmth of the sun and the gentle touch of the King's hand bridge the gap between them, offering a glimmer of hope and the promise of a new beginning. This exquisite print is a testament to Brundage's artistic skill and her ability to bring the enchanting story of "The Beggar Maid" to life, inviting viewers to reflect on the power of love and compassion to transcend social boundaries.
