EDITORS COMMENTS
This mezzotint print, titled "Mrs. Bates, 1793" showcases the elegance and grace of a prominent figure from the late 18th century. Created by William Pether, a renowned artist of his time, this artwork measures 17.6x12.6 cm and is currently housed in the Gerald Coke Handel Collection at the Foundling Museum in London. The subject of this exquisite portrait is believed to be Sarah Bates (nee Harrop), an English singer and wife of Joah Bates. Mrs. Bates exudes confidence as she gazes directly at the viewer with her head held high, adorned with a plumed baroque hat that adds a touch of grandeur to her appearance. Intriguingly, Mrs. Bates holds a book filled with songs by Handel, hinting at her involvement in opera or perhaps her admiration for Handel's musical compositions. The fur collar framing her face adds warmth and sophistication to this enchanting depiction. Bridgeman Images has skillfully captured every intricate detail through their expert engraving technique, allowing us to appreciate not only Mrs. Bates' beauty but also the artistry behind this mezzotint print. As we admire this remarkable piece from the eGerald Coke Handel Collection, it serves as a window into history—a glimpse into an era where opera reigned supreme and individuals like Mrs. Bates played pivotal roles in shaping cultural landscapes through their talent and refined taste.
