EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a study for the three daughters of Sir William Montgomery, painted by Joshua Reynolds in 1773. The finished masterpiece, titled "Three Ladies Adorning a Term of Hymen" can be found at the Tate Gallery in London. The Montgomery sisters, Barbara, Elizabeth, and Anne, were renowned as the Irish Graces and hailed from an aristocratic background. In this painting, they exude elegance and grace as they stand amidst a picturesque garden landscape. Their flowing dresses are adorned with flowers, symbolizing their beauty and femininity. Reynolds skillfully captures the essence of sisterhood and companionship through his portrayal of these three women engaged in conversation. They appear to be deep in discussion while surrounded by statuesque Roman garlands. The theme of marriage is also evident in this artwork as it features a term (a pillar-like sculpture) representing Hymen, the Greek god of marriage ceremonies. This inclusion adds depth to the composition and hints at societal expectations placed upon young women during that era. Overall, this study exemplifies Reynolds' talent for capturing both physical likeness and inner character through his brushstrokes. It serves as a testament to the enduring allure of portraiture within Georgian society while immortalizing the beauty and charm of these remarkable Irish sisters known as the Montgomery Graces.
