EDITORS COMMENTS
The Virgin of the Harbour," a captivating portrait painting from circa 1915, showcases a woman in a red shirt, intimately connected with her child, as they sit by the waterside at a bustling harbor. The woman's gaze is fixed on her little one, who is strewn across her lap, creating an atmosphere of tenderness and love. The painting, with its rich colors and intricate details, evokes a sense of tranquility amidst the chaotic backdrop of the harbor. This beautiful work of art is believed to be the creation of renowned English painter, Ernest Procter, though no definitive confirmation exists. The painting was first published in October 1916, in Volume 11 of the popular magazine, "The Studio," adding to its historical significance. The Virgin of the Harbour is a testament to the deep bond between a mother and her child, a theme that resonated deeply with the public during this era. The painting's inclusion in a prestigious magazine further solidified its place in art history, making it an invaluable addition to any collection. The red shirt worn by the woman adds a pop of color to the otherwise muted tones of the painting, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figures. The intricate details of the woman's face, the child's cherubic features, and the textured fabric of their clothing all contribute to the painting's lifelike quality. As the woman and her child sit by the harbor, they seem to exist in a world of their own, oblivious to the hustle and bustle around them. The Virgin of the Harbour is a poignant reminder of the simple joys of motherhood and the enduring power of love.
