EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A Lady Reading, called Mrs William Hunt" we are transported back to the Victorian era. The image showcases a serene and demure woman, seated in an elegant interior space. Bathed in the soft glow of sunlight streaming through a nearby window, she is completely absorbed in her book. The concentration on her face speaks volumes about her deep immersion into the world of literature. It is as if time stands still for her, and all that matters in that moment is the words on those pages. Her leisurely pastime becomes a form of solace and escape from the demands of daily life. The artist, William Henry Hunt, captures not only the physical likeness of Mrs William Hunt but also manages to convey a sense of tranquility and inner peace emanating from within her. The delicate use of gouache and watercolor over graphite adds depth and texture to this exquisite piece. This artwork now resides at Yale Center for British Art as part of their Paul Mellon Collection. As we gaze upon this timeless portrayal, we cannot help but be drawn into its beauty and contemplate our own relationship with books – how they can transport us to different worlds while offering moments of solitude amidst our busy lives.
