EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, titled "Daughter Mary with a Poke bonnet" we are transported back in time to Germany during the late 19th century. The young girl, identified as Mary, stands before us wearing a beautifully adorned poke bonnet. This exquisite headpiece was popular during that era and symbolized both fashion and social status. The artist, Franz Ritter von 1863-1928, skillfully captures Mary's innocence and youthfulness through his use of pastel and coal on cardboard. The delicate strokes bring out her rosy cheeks and bright eyes, while the intricate details of the bonnet showcase the fine craftsmanship involved in its creation. As we gaze at this painting from a private collection, we can't help but wonder about the story behind it. Was it commissioned by Mary's family? Or perhaps it was created as an homage to her beauty? Regardless of its origins, this artwork serves as a window into history - offering us a glimpse into the lives of people from another time. The poke bonnet itself holds symbolic significance within society at that time. It represented modesty and femininity while also acting as protection against sun exposure for women who ventured outdoors frequently. Its wide brim provided shade for their faces - shielding them from prying eyes or unwanted attention. This print is not just an image; it is a piece of fine art that transports us to another era - allowing us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind it and the cultural context in which it was created
