EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print, titled "Portrait of a wife, late 18th century (wax)", takes us back in time to the elegant world of the late 18th century. The artwork, created by an unknown German artist from that era, showcases the beauty and grace of a woman who remains nameless but exudes a sense of mystery. The delicate relief sculpture is made entirely out of wax, showcasing the incredible skill and craftsmanship prevalent during this period. The profile view allows us to appreciate every intricate detail carved into the oval-shaped plaque. The artist has captured not only her physical features but also her essence as a wife - perhaps representing love, loyalty, or even devotion. Displayed within an ornate frame typical of Prussian design aesthetics, this portrait was likely part of a pair that adorned someone's home during this historical period. Its inclusion in the Timothy Millett Collection further emphasizes its significance as an art piece worth preserving for generations to come. As we gaze upon this remarkable work of art from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness both the artistic talent and societal values held dear during the late 18th century. This portrait serves as a reminder that even though centuries have passed since its creation, human emotions and relationships remain timeless themes worthy of exploration through art.
