Washing Hands, 1865
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating artwork by British artist Dante Gabriel Charles Rossetti. This pencil and watercolor on paper print measures 44.5x37.5 cm and belongs to a private collection. The image depicts a scene from the mid-19th century, during the Victorian era, emphasizing personal cleanliness and hygiene. In this intimate moment captured by Rossetti, we see a man standing at a wash basin with his sleeves rolled up, engrossed in washing his hands. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the meticulous rendering of clothing and posture. The man's aversion towards looking directly at us adds an air of mystery to the composition. Rossetti was known for his association with the Pre-Raphaelite movement, which sought to revive medieval art techniques and themes in response to industrialization. His use of color here is subtle yet impactful, creating a golden ambiance that enhances the sense of tranquility within this everyday act. This artwork not only showcases Rossetti's technical skill but also serves as a reminder of the importance placed on cleanliness during this period. It invites viewers to reflect upon their own daily rituals while appreciating the beauty found even in mundane tasks. Overall, "Washing Hands, 1865" offers us an intriguing glimpse into Victorian life through its exquisite execution and thought-provoking subject matter.
