EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to a medieval woodland scene in the 1880s, as envisioned by artist Elizabeth Adela Stanhope Forbes. Using pastel and gouache techniques, Forbes skillfully brings to life a mystical forest filled with enchantment and wonder. The image showcases a serene glade nestled within the dense trees, where sunlight filters through the canopy above. In this idyllic setting, we see a group of women dressed in elaborate costumes, reminiscent of Shakespearean plays like "As You Like It". Their youthful presence adds an air of innocence and curiosity to the scene. One woman stands at the edge of a pool, her reflection mirrored on its calm surface. She gazes intently into the water while others watch from afar. A page boy attentively observes from behind her, perhaps serving as her companion or protector. Forbes' attention to detail is evident in every stroke; each leaf and branch seems meticulously crafted. The composition draws our eyes deeper into the forest, inviting us to explore further and discover what secrets lie beyond. This mesmerizing artwork is housed at The Royal Cornwall Museum in Truro, Cornwall, UK – a testament to its historical significance. As we admire this stunning print captured by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of nature's timeless allure and our own connection with it throughout history.
