EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic Mary Sandys, a woman of many roles and identities. Created by the talented artist Anthony Frederick Augustus Sandys, this portrait captures Mary's beauty and allure in stunning detail. Mary Sandys, also known by her stage name Miss Clive, was not only an actress but also the wife and muse of Sandys himself. Despite never marrying officially, their relationship resulted in ten children. This unconventional union adds an intriguing layer to Mary's story. In this portrait, Mary exudes elegance and grace with her piercing blue eyes and delicate necklace adorning her neck. Her blonde hair cascades down her shoulders, framing her face like a golden halo. The artist skillfully uses coloured chalks on buff paper to bring out the vibrancy of her features. As a model for artists during the 19th century, Mary embodies both Victorian style and pre-Raphaelite aesthetics. Her profile is captured with precision and finesse, highlighting every intricate detail that makes her unique. This artwork not only serves as a testament to Mary's beauty but also reflects the artistic movements of its time - from pre-Raphaelism to the evolving fashion trends of the 19th century. With this print from Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery, we are transported back in time to witness a captivating moment frozen forever - where artistry meets love and mystery intertwines with beauty.
