Holy Eyes, 1848
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating portrait that transports us back to the elegance and grace of 19th century America. Created by Thomas Story Officer, this exquisite watercolour on ivory print showcases the beauty and poise of a young woman in her ball gown. The subject of the painting, dressed in a stunning blue evening dress with off-the-shoulder detailing and delicate ringlets adorning her fiery red hair, exudes an air of sophistication. Her piercing "holy eyes" gaze upwards, capturing our attention and inviting us into her world. Seated gracefully with one hand resting on a sash cinching her waist, she embodies both strength and femininity. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke - from the intricate folds of her dress to the subtle shading that brings depth to her porcelain complexion. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork serves as a testament to Officer's talent as well as his contribution to American heritage art. Through this portrait, he captures not only the fashion trends but also the spirit of an era long gone. As we admire "Holy Eyes" we are transported back in time; we can almost hear the rustle of silk gowns and imagine ourselves attending an extravagant ball alongside this enchanting young woman. This piece truly encapsulates the allure and charm that defined 19th-century America.
