EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite silhouette captures the essence of a Georgian family, with the entire group arranged in the popular 'all-in-a-row' style. The tallest figure, representing the patriarch or 'Papa,' stands at one end, while the smallest, likely a young child, is positioned at the other. The family's beloved dog, Bijou, completes the scene as the sentinel at the very end. Dating back to the early 19th century, around 1825, this Victorian-era portrait showcases the simplicity and elegance of silhouette art during this time. The intricately cut profiles, with their sharp contrast against the light background, evoke a sense of timelessness and unity within the family unit. The delicate details of each family member's features, from the father's distinguished profile to the children's cherubic faces, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the silhouette artist. This beautiful piece offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the lives of families from over two centuries ago.
