1842 Boston Cary Edouart Figures Length Silhouettes
EDITORS COMMENTS
This silhouette portrait captures the Cary family of Boston, Massachusetts, in 1842. The image, meticulously crafted by the renowned silhouette artist Auguste Edouart during his tour of the United States in the 1840s, showcases the family in a formal and elegant Victorian setting. The silhouette art form gained immense popularity during this era, offering an affordable alternative to traditional painted portraits. Auguste Edouart, a French artist, is known for having cut thousands of silhouette portraits during his time in America. In this piece, the Cary family members are depicted in a full silhouette, with the father, mother, and their children seated around a table. The father is shown in profile, dressed in a suit and holding a book, while the mother and children engage in various activities - the mother reads to one child, while another plays with a toy, and the third looks off into the distance. The intricate details of the silhouette, from the folds of their clothing to the textures of the table and chairs, are a testament to Edouart's exceptional skill. The use of light and shadow creates a striking contrast, highlighting the family's features and capturing their likenesses in a unique and timeless way. This beautiful silhouette portrait offers a glimpse into the lives of the Cary family and the Victorian era, providing a fascinating window into the past.
