The Prelude after Charles Sprague Pearce, 1892 engraved print

Verlag: Magazine of Art

Beschreibung

This 1892 engraved print titled "The Prelude", published in The Magazine of Art by Cassell & Company, Ltd., located in London, Paris, and Melbourne, features a serene and intimate moment captured with exquisite detail. The engraving, signed "C. Sprague-Pearce, pinxt" in the bottom left and "G.A. Schoff, sculpt" in the bottom right, represents the collaborative artistry between painter Charles Sprague Pearce and engraver Stephen Alonzo Schoff. The scene portrays a young woman seated in an ornate wooden chair, gracefully poised with a guitar in her lap. Her head turned slightly in thoughtful contemplation, she delicately touches the instrument's strings as if on the verge of playing the first notes hence the title, The Prelude. She is draped in soft, flowing garments and a richly textured shawl, which adds a tactile warmth to the image. The dark background emphasizes her contemplative expression and quiet focus, while a small table to the left holds a carafe and glasses, subtly suggesting a domestic, reflective setting. This finely executed print epitomizes the romantic ideal of solitary musical inspiration and aligns with 19th-century themes of feminine introspection and artistic grace. . IMAGE SIZE: approx 9 1/4 x 6 1/2 Inches CONDITION: As scanned. The engraving has been pasted down to heavy card stock. The image has beautiful depth and detail. Blank on Reverse side.
