Bessie and Her Bun - A Symmetrical Gaze of Regency Children
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Hilda Dix Sandford (circa 1908) This print by Hilda Dix Sandford, titled "Bessie and Her Bun: A Symmetrical Gazes of Regency Children," depicts a charming scene of a young girl named Bessie surrounded by a symmetrical group of young boys, all dressed in Regency costumes, as they fixate on her and her pet bunny. The artist masterfully captures the innocence and curiosity of childhood, as the boys' eyes follow Bessie and her beloved companion with equal parts fascination and admiration. The boys' impeccably tailored Regency outfits, complete with frilled shirts, waistcoats, and breeches, add an air of elegance and formality to the scene. Their postures are rigid and uniform, emphasizing the symmetry and orderliness of the group. In contrast, Bessie, dressed in a simple yet elegant Regency gown, exudes a sense of playfulness and informality, her gaze directed towards the viewer with a hint of mischief. The bunny, or "Bun," perched on Bessie's lap, completes the scene with its adorable and endearing presence. The soft, muted colors of the print, as well as the delicate brushstrokes, add to the overall sense of warmth and nostalgia. This print is a beautiful representation of the innocence and charm of childhood, as well as the enduring bond between children and their pets. Hilda Dix Sandford's exceptional artistic skill is evident in the intricate details of the children's costumes and the expressive nature of their faces. The symmetrical arrangement of the boys adds a sense of balance and harmony to the composition, while the contrast between Bessie's informal demeanor and the formal attire of the boys creates an intriguing tension. This print is a must-have for anyone with an appreciation for the Regency era, as well as for those who cherish the simple joys of childhood.
