EDITORS COMMENTS
John Downman's Portrait of a Woman in Profile, created in 1791, is a stunning example of 18th century British art. The portrait is rendered in black chalk and watercolor, with the woman's profile beautifully framed by an oval shaped border. The woman wears an empire gown, a fashionable style of the time characterized by its high waistline and loose, flowing skirt. Her elaborate hairstyle, featuring intricate curls and a tall, elaborate headdress, is typical of the opulence and elegance of the era. Downman, a Welsh artist, expertly captures the woman's regal and refined demeanor in this profile view. The delicate use of black chalk and watercolor creates a sense of depth and texture, bringing the woman's features to life. The portrait is a testament to the artistic skill and talent of Downman, who was known for his portraits of the British aristocracy. The portrait is an invaluable addition to the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it is displayed for visitors to appreciate the beauty and historical significance of this work. The portrait is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Britain during the 18th century, and the enduring influence of fashion and style on art and culture.
