EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "David Wilkie, Esquire, R A" transports us back to the 19th century. The print showcases a portrait of David Wilkie, an esteemed artist and member of the Royal Academy. Created by William Beechey and engraved with meticulous detail, this piece is a true testament to the artistry of its time. Wilkie's expression exudes confidence and intelligence as he gazes directly at the viewer. His refined attire reflects his status as an esquire, while also capturing the fashion trends of that era. The intricate lines and shading in this engraving bring out every subtle nuance on his face, making it seem almost lifelike. Originally featured in Fishers Drawing Room Scrap Book in 1835, this illustration offers a glimpse into both historical context and artistic skill. It serves as a reminder of Wilkie's significant contributions to the art world during his lifetime. Now part of a private collection but available for public appreciation through Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Look and Learn / Elgar Collection, this print allows us to admire not only Wilkie himself but also the mastery behind Beechey's workmanship. As we delve into history through this image, we can appreciate how portraiture has long been used to capture personalities and preserve legacies for generations to come.
