EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Anne Hathaway, the wife of renowned playwright William Shakespeare. Created in 1708 by Sir Nathaniel Curzon, this brown Indian ink on paper piece is currently housed in the esteemed Collection of Colgate University Libraries. Anne Hathaway, born around 1555 or 1556 and passing away in 1623, was a prominent figure during the Elizabethan era. Her marriage to William Shakespeare has sparked curiosity and fascination throughout history. In this portrait, she exudes an air of elegance and grace. The artist's meticulous pen strokes bring out every detail of Hathaway's features - her delicate facial structure, expressive eyes, and flowing hair. The use of brown Indian ink adds depth to the image while maintaining a sense of subtlety. Displayed against a neutral background, the focus remains solely on Anne Hathaway herself. This intimate portrayal captures her essence as a woman who played an integral role in Shakespeare's life and legacy. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from over three centuries ago, we are reminded not only of Anne Hathaway's historical significance but also of her individuality as a person beyond being merely "Shakespeare's wife". This print serves as a testament to her enduring presence within art history and invites us to explore further into the lives behind famous names.
