EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the youthful beauty of Ellen Terry, a renowned British actress of the 19th century. Taken in 1864 when she was just sixteen years old, this print from around 1913 showcases Terry's innocence and charm. Ellen Terry's life took an intriguing turn shortly after this photo was taken when she married George Frederick Watts, a prominent painter who was thirty years her senior. The couple embarked on their honeymoon on the picturesque Isle of Wight, where Julia Margaret Cameron, the photographer behind this image, resided. Cameron's artistic style shines through in this portrait as she expertly uses soft focus to convey a sense of melancholy and sadness in Terry's expression. The sepia tone adds a touch of nostalgia to the image, transporting viewers back to Victorian England. Terry is adorned with delicate jewelry - a bangle and necklace - which accentuate her youthfulness and add an element of elegance to the composition. Her seated pose exudes poise and grace while capturing her contemplative mood. As we gaze upon this vintage photograph at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are reminded not only of Ellen Terry's talent as an actress but also her role as a muse for artists like Julia Margaret Cameron. This portrait serves as a testament to both women's contributions to art history during the vibrant era known as the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood movement.
