EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the timeless beauty of Tacy Shoemaker, a skilled craftswoman from 1818. Painted by Charles Willson Peale (1741-1827) or attributed to him, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 76.5x63.8 cm and is housed in the prestigious Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, CA. In this half-length portrait, Tacy sits gracefully while engaged in her craft. With a warm smile adorning her face, she delicately stitches away at a bonnet using her trusty equipment - thimble and scissors held firmly in hand. The scene exudes an air of domestic tranquility as Tacy's basket filled with materials rests beside her. The painting beautifully captures the essence of a talented seamstress lost in her work. Every detail has been meticulously rendered by Peale or an artist associated with his style. From the intricate folds of Tacy's shawl to the careful precision of each stitch she makes, it is evident that craftsmanship runs through every fiber of her being. This portrait not only immortalizes Tacy Shoemaker but also pays homage to all dedicated craftswomen throughout history who have honed their skills and contributed to society's fabric. It serves as a reminder that artistry can be found not only on grand canvases but also within everyday tasks performed with love and dedication.
