EDITORS COMMENTS
Portrait Bust of Young Woman in Turban, n.d. by David Allan (18th century) This evocative black and red chalk drawing by Scottish artist David Allan (1744-1796) captures the enigmatic presence of a young woman adorned in a turban. The portrait bust, dating from the 18th century, showcases Allan's exceptional skill in capturing the intricacies of the human form and the richness of textures in clothing. The young woman gazes directly at the viewer with an unwavering, proud expression, her dark eyes conveying a sense of self-assurance and quiet confidence. Her head is covered by a striking turban, its black fabric adorned with intricate red patterns that add depth and dimension to the drawing. The turban is a symbol of her heritage and cultural identity, adding an air of mystery and allure to her portrait. The drawing, executed with masterful strokes of black and red chalk on buff laid paper, showcases Allan's ability to capture the subtle nuances of light and shadow. The contrast between the dark chalk and the lighter paper creates a sense of depth and three-dimensionality, bringing the young woman to life. The portrait bust is a testament to Allan's skill as a draftsman and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. It is a valuable addition to the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is displayed as part of their extensive prints and drawings collection. The drawing invites viewers to contemplate the woman's story and the cultural significance of her turban, making it a thought-provoking and captivating work of art.
