EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite portrait of Mary Fryer Todd (nee Evans), painted by Joseph Allen in approximately 1798. The oil on canvas masterpiece, measuring 76.5x63.9 cm, is housed in the prestigious National Museum Wales. Mary Fryer Todd, born in 1770 and passing away in 1843, was not just an ordinary subject for this painting; she held a special place in the heart of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Her brother happened to be a school friend of Coleridge's who fell deeply in love with her. In fact, such was his affection that he dedicated his renowned poem 'The Sigh' to Mary. Allen's brushstrokes expertly capture Mary's beauty and grace as she gazes into the distance with an air of elegance and poise. The artist skillfully portrays her half-length figure against a serene landscape backdrop, adding depth and context to the composition. This remarkable portrait encapsulates both femininity and strength while showcasing Allen's mastery of capturing human emotion on canvas. Through this image, we are transported back to late eighteenth-century Britain, where society's elite sought out talented artists like Allen to immortalize their loved ones through portraiture. Thanks to Fine Art Finder and Bridgeman Images, we can now appreciate this stunning artwork from our own homes—a testament to art's ability to transcend time and space.
