EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Narcissa, 1787 (1907)", showcases the artistic brilliance of John Raphael Smith. The artist's meticulous stipple engraving technique brings to life a portrait of a woman from the 18th century. With an air of elegance and poise, Narcissa sits gracefully while holding a hand mirror in her delicate hands. Dressed in fashionable attire of the era, she dons a stylish hat that adds to her allure. Her eyes are cast downwards, suggesting introspection or perhaps contemplation as she gazes into the mirror before her. This composition evokes a sense of vanity and self-reflection, capturing the essence of Narcissa's character. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched with precision by Smith's skilled hand. The print beautifully captures the texture and folds of Narcissa's dress, highlighting both its opulence and simplicity simultaneously. Originally featured in The Connoisseur magazine in 1907-8, this print has become an iconic representation of female beauty during the late 18th century. It serves as a testament to Smith's talent as an artist and his ability to immortalize his subjects through his engravings. As we gaze upon this timeless image today, it transports us back to another era - one filled with gracefulness and refinement. Through this print collector's treasure, we can appreciate both the artistry behind it and gain insight into society during that period.
