Girl playing guitar
Oil on canvas, 96 x 62 cm
Framed, 112 x 82.5 cm
A multifaceted artist of great interest, Sir Thomas Alfred Woolnoth was primarily known for his work as a portrait painter and engraver. Particularly popular in England in the second half of the 19th century were his portraits of wealthy members of the London aristocracy, including John Campbell (London, National Portrait gallery, inv. NPG 375), John Jackson (Oxford, Ashmolean Museum) and Henry Phillpotts (University of Durham Art Collections): in the first half of the 19th century he was among the most popular portrait painters among the nobility and wealthy patrons of the British capital and also produced an engraving, with widespread circulation, representing the beloved Queen Victoria. The artist was also known for the numerous paintings by his own hand portraying the most famous theatrical actors of his time, true ante litteram stars, esteemed and acclaimed by their contemporaries: in this light, it is important to mention works such as the Portrait of Mary Ann Povey as Jessica from The Merchant of Venice (National Portrait Gallery, inv. NPG D8501) or the Portrait of Miss Hallande as Sylvia in 'The Two Gentlemen of Verona' (inv. NPG D38696). Woolnoth's work as an engraver and illustrator is also of particular quality: his engraving reproductions of the celebrated works of Correggio and Van Dyck made these two masters more widely known in England; his work as an illustrator for such series as Britannia depicta by Cadell and Davies, The History of the Ancient Palace and Late Houses of Parliament at Westminster by E.W. Brayley and J. Britton and he Portrait Gallery of Distinguished Poets.
The same atmospheres of the portraits of thespians that made the artist internationally known can be felt in this portrait. The painting depicts a young maiden intent on playing the guitar. The woman, depicted in a patrician setting with an almost theatrical tone, wears a long, loose-fitting gown that leaves her shoulders uncovered, white in color with iridescent silvery highlights, which descends to her feet. Her gaze is doggedly directed toward the viewer, and the maiden's sweet, soft features catalyze the viewer's attention. The soft light and delicate colors help create an image of serene beauty. This pictorial piece, absolutely in line with the most celebrated pieces in Woolnoth's corpus, is an excellent example of the high achievements of early 19th-century British portraiture.
