c. 1860s
About the Item
The self-portrait of Francis William Edmonds is a compelling depiction that offers a profound glimpse into the artist's emotion. Edmonds, known for his keen eye and detailed brushwork, captures himself with an stern gaze and an air of quiet composure.
In this artwork, Edmonds stands poised with a whip in hand, potentially symbolizing a slight power. His expression is content, perhaps reflecting on his life outside of his artistic career. The background, bright white, complements the central figure's presence, adding depth to the composition.
Edmonds' skill is evident in the texture of his garments and the lifelike quality of his features. The light, softly illuminating his face, highlights the contours and creates a sense of three-dimensionality, bringing the portrait to life. The bold colors of his garments and accessories perfectly contrasts against his more pastel and light complexion and clothing.
This self-portrait is more than a mere likeness; it is a window into the artist's world, revealing his dedication, introspection, and the quiet strength that drives his creativity. It invites viewers to connect with Edmonds on a personal level, offering a rare opportunity to see the artist as he saw himself.
Francis William Edmonds' self-portrait is a testament to his skill and the depth of his self-awareness. It is a remarkable piece that stands as both a masterful work of art and an intimate exploration of the artist's inner world.

Oil Portrait of Woman in Wheat Field
Located in Fredericksburg, VA
This painting is in excellent condition and signed lower right. William Hicok Low first trained with the sculptor Erastus Dow Palmer. When he was 17, he worked in New York City as an illustrator and years later traveled to Paris to study with Jean-Léon Gérôme and Carolus-Duran. During his years in France he summered with the Barbizon artists where he was especially influenced by the work of François Millet. In the United States, he became active as a muralist, illustrator, and decorative painter, performing prominent commissions such as the ceiling murals and decorations of New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel. His Beaux Arts classicism inspired Louis Comfort Tiffany and other of his younger colleagues. After 1900, as artistic styles changed, there was less demand for his work but he continued to write art criticism for Scribner's and The Century magazine...

Mixed Media on Board
Size: 30 x 37 cm (including frame)
A wonderfully expressive and brilliantly executed figurative composition in mixed media (oil, watercolour gouache), painted onto board.
Two women in black headscarves are the focus of the scene, with very captivating expressions. The woman on the right appears to look almost shocked, with her mouth ajar and her eyes widened. The woman on the left stares directly at us, her emotion less identifiable. The scene is intriguing, making us question what these women have heard or what has happened. Their faces have been painted with brilliant detail, capturing the shadows on their faces as well as the aged skin of the woman on the right. These two women are set against a blue-ish green backdrop, making their faces stand out even more from within their black head scarves...
