EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a sketch from Arthur Davies' Sketchbook II, dated 1881. The American artist, born in 1862, captured this moment in Mexico during his travels through the United States and Mexico in the late 19th century. The sketchbook's maroon buckram cover, tinted with paper pages, holds a wealth of graphite and watercolor designs. In this particular sketch, Davies portrays a man wearing traditional Mexican apparel. He dons a poncho, a long, loose outer garment, and a wide-brimmed hat, shielding him from the sun. The man's dress, simple yet distinctive, reflects the country's rich cultural heritage. The artist's skillful use of graphite pencil brings the man's features to life, capturing the intricacies of his clothing and the expressiveness of his face. The sketchbook's pages offer a glimpse into Davies' artistic process, showcasing his dedication to documenting the world around him. This single sketch, among many others, is a testament to Davies' ability to capture the essence of a moment in time and place. The image, with its stark contrasts and intricate details, invites viewers to explore the history and traditions of Mexico and the United States during the 19th century.
