EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Portrait of a Woman (Martha Hess)" by Henry Fuseli, created in 1781. The anticipation and artistry of the 18th century come alive in this remarkable piece displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago. Fuseli, a renowned British artist, skillfully used charcoal and black chalk with stumping to create delicate details on grayish tan laid paper. He then heightened certain areas with white chalk and touches of red orange pastel, resulting in a mesmerizing composition that exudes elegance. The subject of this portrait is Martha Hess, an English woman whose beauty is immortalized through Fuseli's masterful strokes. With her head held high and eyes looking up towards something unseen, she emanates an air of mystery and intrigue. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to 18th-century England, marveling at Fuseli's ability to capture not only Martha's physical features but also her inner essence. The softness of the lines combined with the play between light and shadow adds depth to her expression. This print serves as a testament to Henry Fuseli's artistic prowess as well as his contribution to British portraiture during this period. It invites us to appreciate both the technical skill involved in its creation and the timeless beauty it portrays.
