Admiration with Astonishment,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating 18th century drawing by Eduardus Jacobus, showcases the intricate interplay of emotions on a woman's face. The artwork, created after 1698, is a masterful representation of admiration and astonishment, two powerful emotions that often go hand in hand. The woman in the portrait is depicted in profile, her head slightly tilted towards an unseen admirer. Her body is turned away, her gaze fixed on the object of her admiration. Her facial expression is a beautiful amalgamation of wonder and appreciation. Her eyes are wide with astonishment, her eyebrows slightly raised, and her mouth slightly parted as if to utter a word. Her head is adorned with a delicate headband, adding an air of elegance to the composition. The artist expertly captures the essence of these emotions using a combination of red chalk and graphite on tan laid paper. The woman's skin is rendered in warm, earthy tones, while her hair is delicately shaded with graphite, creating a striking contrast between light and shadow. The artist's use of chalk and graphite adds texture and depth to the drawing, bringing the woman's features to life. The title, "Admiration with Astonishment," is inscribed in capital letters in English text at the bottom of the drawing, adding an element of heritage and historical significance to the artwork. This beautiful drawing is a testament to the expressive power of the human form and the ability of art to capture and convey complex emotions. The artwork is part of the rich collection of prints and drawings at the Art Institute of Chicago, a renowned art center and institute that preserves and showcases art from around the world and throughout history. This drawing is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the human experience.
