EDITORS COMMENTS
Dear Polly, (oil on canvas) by Seymour Joseph Guy is a captivating snapshot of nineteenth-century domestic life. This intimate portrait, measuring 54.8x42 cm, showcases the artist's mastery in capturing the essence of a woman engrossed in her correspondence. The scene unfolds inside an elegant classical revival interior adorned with exquisite décor and furniture. A mature Caucasian woman sits alone at a writing desk, her arm resting and leaning on her elbow as she reads a letter. Dressed in traditional attire, complete with bonnet and apron, she exudes an air of quiet contemplation. Seymour Joseph Guy's academic style shines through this American painting from the late nineteenth century. The artist skillfully portrays the subject's posture and expression, conveying both maturity and introspection. As we observe her looking down at the letter before her, we can almost feel the weight of its contents. This artwork not only captures a specific moment in time but also serves as a testament to human connection through written communication during that era. It invites us to imagine what thoughts might be running through Dear Polly's mind as she engages with this personal missive. With its rich colors and meticulous attention to detail, 'Dear Polly' transports us back to a bygone era where letters were cherished treasures that bridged distances between loved ones.
