EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning three-quarter length portrait, titled "Portrait of a Woman," was created by the renowned French artist Constantin Guys around 1865-1870. The black and white pen and ink drawing with gray wash over graphite on ivory wove paper captures the essence of the nineteenth century with its intricate details and lifelike representation. The woman in the portrait is depicted wearing an elegant evening dress, complete with a high collar, long sleeves, and a voluminous skirt. Her hat, adorned with a delicate ribbon, sits atop her head, adding an air of sophistication to the image. The portrait exhibits the artistic movement of Realism, which emphasized the accurate portrayal of life and its details. Guys' masterful use of pen and ink, combined with the subtle gray wash, creates a sense of depth and texture, bringing the woman's features to life. The profile view and the time of day, which appears to be night, add to the mysterious and alluring quality of the portrait. This work of art is now part of the permanent collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world. The portrait serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the past and the enduring beauty of classic fashion.
