Higgins Leaving Office Fashionable
EDITORS COMMENTS
A Fashionable Farewell - A Woman in Style Bids Adieu to the War Office (1918) Amidst the backdrop of the relentless march of war, a moment of tranquility and elegance unfolds in this drawing by Higgins, titled 'A Fashionable Woman Leaving the War Office.' Dated 1918, this evocative image offers a rare glimpse into the world of fashion during a time when the world was consumed by the tumultuous events of the First World War. The fashionable woman, adorned in the latest trends of the era, is shown leaving the War Office with a bouquet of flowers in hand. Her outfit, a testament to the enduring allure of style and sophistication, features a flowing, ankle-length skirt, a fitted blouse, and a smart jacket. A delicate hat adorned with a ribbon and a pair of elegant gloves complete her ensemble. The War Office, a symbol of the British government's military might and administrative prowess, provides an intriguing contrast to the woman's grace and beauty. The drawing masterfully captures the juxtaposition of the mundane and the extraordinary, the somber and the joyful, the practical and the fanciful. As the woman exits the War Office, she leaves behind the weight of the world and embraces the simple pleasure of holding a bouquet of flowers. The drawing invites us to ponder the resilience of the human spirit, the power of fashion to uplift and inspire, and the enduring allure of beauty amidst the chaos of war. This exquisite drawing by Higgins, with its intricate details and evocative imagery, is a poignant reminder of a bygone era and a testament to the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place.
