EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Count Robert de Montesquiou, 1894," was created by the talented British artist Beatrix Godwin Whistler (1857-1932), also known as Beatrix Whistler or Beatrix Birnie Philip. The portrait depicts Count Robert de Montesquiou-Fezensac (1855-1921), a renowned French aristocrat, art collector, and patron of the arts. Montesquiou was a prominent figure in Parisian high society and was known for his literary and artistic connections. The image captures Montesquiou in formal attire, dressed in the fashion of the late 19th century. The aristocrat wears a tailcoat, waistcoat, and cravat, accessorized with a top hat and cane. The monochromatic palette of the lithograph, printed on greyish ivory china paper, adds to the timeless and elegant feel of the portrait. Montesquiou's portrait is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the time, showcasing the opulence and sophistication of the aristocracy. The art piece is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, and its inclusion in institutions such as the Art Institute of Chicago further solidifies its place in the annals of art history. Beatrix Godwin Whistler was a prolific artist in her own right, known for her lithographs and watercolors. Her unique artistic style and ability to capture the essence of her subjects made her a sought-after portraitist in both Britain and France. This portrait of Count Robert de Montesquiou is a prime example of her skill and talent, and a beautiful reminder of the past.
