EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Joseph Clayton Clarke's watercolour painting titled "Fagin, 1883". The artwork is part of a private collection and depicts the iconic fictional character from Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. In this close-up portrait style, Fagin is portrayed as a mature man with a suspicious expression. His head is turned away, looking over his shoulder, evoking an air of aversion and secrecy. Dressed in ragged clothing patched with various kitchenware scarves and a headscarf, Fagin stands against a white background. The artist has skillfully captured Fagin's authentic appearance, complete with his bearded face and red hair peeking out from under his kerchief. Holding onto a toasting fork as if ready for action, Fagin exudes both caution and intrigue. Clarke's attention to detail shines through in this full-length watercolour drawing. Every garment and accessory worn by Fagin adds depth to the character's portrayal within the late nineteenth-century setting. With its rich colors and meticulous brushstrokes, this artwork transports viewers into the world of Dickensian fiction. It serves as an homage to both British literature and European artistry while offering us an intimate glimpse into one of literature's most notorious characters. Overall, this print captures the essence of Joseph Clayton Clarke's talent as an illustrator while immortalizing Fagin in all his enigmatic glory.
