EDITORS COMMENTS
This pastel print showcases Edward Pretty, the first curator of Maidstone Museum during the years 1820-1840. Created by artist Eliza Anne Drummond in the 19th century, this portrait measures 32.3x27 cm and is currently housed in the Maidstone Museum and Art Gallery in Kent, UK. The artwork depicts a relatively young-looking Edward Pretty against a vibrant blue background. He is portrayed wearing a white cravat, exuding an air of sophistication and elegance. The delicate strokes of pastel bring out his features with remarkable detail, capturing both his physical appearance and personality. Edward Pretty's contribution to the museum as its inaugural curator cannot be overstated. His dedication and passion for art are evident through this exquisite portrayal. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back to a time when he tirelessly worked to establish Maidstone Museum as a hub for artistic appreciation. Drummond's skillful illustration not only immortalizes Edward Pretty but also serves as a testament to her own talent as an artist. Her use of color brings life to the portrait, making it visually striking and engaging. This print stands as a reminder of the rich history that lies within Maidstone Museum and Art Gallery while honoring Edward Pretty's significant role in its establishment. It serves as an inspiration for future curators who continue his legacy by preserving art for generations to come.
