EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century portrait, titled "Portrait of Mary Buckler Woodville in Historical Costume," was painted by the renowned German artist Carl Ferdinand Sohn in approximately 1847. The young woman depicted, Mary Buckler Woodville, is shown wearing an elegant historical costume, typical of the fashionable attire of the 1840s. The rich brown dress, with a centre or middle parting, is adorned with intricate patterns and textures, reflecting the artistic style of the Düsseldorf School. Mary's brunette hair, styled in a simple yet elegant hand on hip posture, cascades down her back in soft brown curls. Her hairstyle, with a centre parting, was a popular choice among young women during this era. Mary's unimpressed expression and the subtle tilt of her head add an air of sophistication and confidence to the portrait. The oil on canvas painting, with its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, is a testament to Sohn's exceptional artistic skills. The portrait was likely commissioned as a keepsake or a symbol of wealth and status. Today, it is a cherished piece of heritage art, housed in the Walters Art Museum, providing a glimpse into the fashion and artistic trends of the nineteenth century. The portrait of Mary Buckler Woodville in Historical Costume is a captivating representation of a young woman from the past, inviting us to reflect on the rich history and cultural heritage of the 1840s.
