Adrien Ambassador Ensemble Etienne Hobble Including Point Reid Skirt Ward Whitelaw 14th Fashionable
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning dry-point print captures Hon. Mrs. John Ward, the daughter of the esteemed American diplomat Mr. Whitelaw Reid, former Ambassador in London, in an elegant ensemble from the early 20th century. The portrait, created by the renowned French artist Adrien Etienne, showcases Mrs. Ward wearing a fashionable hobble skirt, a popular trend during the 1910s. The hobble skirt, known for its narrow waist and full, restrictive skirt, accentuated the feminine figure and was a symbol of the era's fashionable sensibilities. Mr. Whitelaw Reid, a prominent journalist and diplomat, served as the American Ambassador to the Court of St. James's from 1912 to 1913. During this time, his daughter, Mrs. Ward, became a socialite and a prominent figure in London society. This portrait, imported from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the opulence and elegance of the early 20th century. Adrien Etienne, a French artist, expertly captured the sophistication and refinement of Mrs. Ward in this dry-point print. The intricate details of her ensemble, from the delicate lace collar to the intricate beading on her skirt, are beautifully rendered in this historical artwork. The use of dry-point, a printmaking technique known for its expressive and textured lines, adds depth and dimension to the portrait. This print, dated 14th February 1914, is a testament to the rich history of fashion and diplomacy during the early 20th century. The combination of the elegant ensemble, the skillful artistry of Adrien Etienne, and the historical significance of the subject make this a must-have for any collection of historical portraits or fashion illustrations.
