EDITORS COMMENTS
This black chalk print from the Liszt Collection showcases Captain Downman, an artist and brother of renowned painter John Downman. Created around 1776, this early work by Dowman exhibits his exceptional talent in capturing subtle grays and portraying his elder brother Francis. The composition depicts Captain Downman holding his rank as a captain in the Royal Artillery. The inscription on the lower right provides insight into his military background, revealing that he was promoted after participating in the British capture of a Caribbean island in 1778. Measuring approximately 10 1/8 x 8 1/8 inches (257 x 206 cm), this wash sheet print highlights Dowman's meticulous attention to detail. His masterful use of black chalk brings depth and dimension to the portrait, allowing viewers to appreciate both the physical features and character traits of Captain Downman. Through this artwork, Dowman not only celebrates his brother's achievements but also captures a moment frozen in time - one that immortalizes Captain Downman's dedication to serving his country. This print serves as a testament to Dowman's artistic prowess and offers us a glimpse into the historical context surrounding their lives during this period. Artokoloro has expertly preserved this remarkable piece from their collection for art enthusiasts worldwide to admire and appreciate its historical significance.
