EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "London Female Character, 1896" showcases the artistic brilliance of Philip William May. Created in the late 19th century, this piece captures a British woman with her arms folded, exuding confidence and character. May's intricate pen and ink drawing skillfully brings out the essence of this female figure. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, from the folds of her coat to the delicate lines that define her facial features. Dressed in traditional English attire, she stands as a representation of London's rich heritage. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this artwork takes viewers on a journey through time. It offers a glimpse into England's past and serves as a testament to May's talent for capturing human posture and expression. The woman depicted in this portrait embodies strength and resilience while maintaining an air of elegance. Her hat adds an element of sophistication to her ensemble, complementing her stylish jacket and skirt. Philip William May masterfully combines elements of caricature with fine art techniques in his work. This particular piece showcases his ability to create lifelike sketches using only pen and ink over traces of graphite on ivory wove paper. As we admire this remarkable creation by Philip William May, we are transported back to 19th-century Britain—a time when fashion was exquisite, women were empowered individuals, and art truly captured the spirit of its subjects.
