EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Portia, 1895 (1899)" captures the essence of one of William Shakespeare's most iconic characters. Portrayed in a pen drawing by the talented Edwin A Abbey RA, this image is taken from The Comedies of William Shakespeare published in 1895 by Harper and Brothers. The subject of this mesmerizing artwork is Portia, a strong-willed and intelligent woman from Shakespeare's play "The Merchant of Venice". Dressed in exquisite Victorian attire, she stands with her arm raised in a commanding gesture that exudes confidence and grace. Her hand gesture signifies power and authority as she embodies the character's wisdom and compassion. Set against a monochrome background, this portrait transports us back to 19th century England. The attention to detail in both costume design and facial expression showcases Abbey's artistic brilliance. His skillful rendering brings Portia to life on paper, capturing her beauty and complexity. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded not only of the enduring legacy of William Shakespeare but also the immense talent possessed by Edwin Austin Abbey. This print serves as a testament to their profound impact on literature and visual arts respectively. Through its timeless appeal, "Portia" invites us into an enchanting world where literature meets artistry – reminding us that even centuries later, these masterpieces continue to captivate our hearts and minds.
