EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Turkish Girl, 1853" by George Price Boyce captures the essence of a young girl adorned in traditional Turkish dress. Painted with watercolor and bodycolor on paper, this early work showcases Boyce's talent and his introduction to the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Although painted before Boyce had the opportunity to travel, he skillfully incorporates studio props such as Eastern clothes to create an authentic atmosphere. Interestingly, it is revealed that the subject of this painting is actually British despite her convincing portrayal as a Turkish girl. The composition exudes elegance and grace as the young girl strikes a pose with confidence. Her dreadlocks cascade down her shoulders, adding an intriguing element to her appearance. The attention to detail in capturing every fold of her vibrant costume demonstrates Boyce's meticulous approach. Displayed in a private collection, this artwork offers viewers a glimpse into both historical and cultural aspects of Turkey during the mid-19th century. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece through their high-quality print reproduction. "A Turkish Girl, 1853" serves as a testament to Boyce's artistic prowess and his ability to transport viewers across time and space through his vivid brushstrokes. It invites us to appreciate not only the beauty of traditional attire but also the artistry behind its depiction.
