The Coral Necklace, 1871. Creator: Frederick Sandys (British, 1829-1904)
The Coral Necklace, 1871. Closely associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Sandys was a friend of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and played an active role in the bohemian artistic, literary, and theatrical circles of the day in London. This is a portrait of Mary Emma Jones, the artists favorite model, mistress, and mother of his nine children. An extraordinarily skilled draftsman, here he worked in tone rather than line, delicately drawing in chalk on a rough textured sheet and leaving the low points of the paper untouched to produce a stippled, hazy effect. While Joness face is exquisitely detailed, the composition becomes increasingly indistinct at the edges, suggesting an apparition

The Coral Necklace, 1871
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating portrait that showcases the artistic brilliance of Frederick Sandys, a prominent figure closely associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. This particular piece exemplifies Sandys' mastery in capturing both beauty and emotion through his subjects. In this mesmerizing print, we are introduced to Mary Emma Jones, an enigmatic woman who held a significant place in the artist's life as his favorite model, mistress, and mother to their nine children. Through delicate strokes of red chalk on textured paper, Sandys skillfully depicts Jones' face with exquisite detail while allowing the composition to gradually fade into indistinctness at its edges. The result is an ethereal effect that suggests her presence as an apparition. Sandys' choice to work primarily in tone rather than line adds depth and dimensionality to the artwork. By leaving certain areas untouched on the rough-textured sheet, he creates a stippled and hazy appearance that further enhances the dreamlike quality of the piece. This remarkable portrait not only showcases Sandys' extraordinary draughtsmanship but also offers us a glimpse into his bohemian lifestyle within London's artistic circles during the 19th century. "The Coral Necklace" stands as a testament to Sandys' ability to capture both physical beauty and emotional resonance within his artistry.
