Her Weight in Gold, c. 1921
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Jean Leon Gerome Ferris that transports us back to the early twentieth century in America. The artwork showcases a bustling street scene filled with vibrant colors and numerous individuals going about their daily lives. In the foreground, we see a beautifully dressed bride and groom standing on an old-fashioned scale, symbolizing the weight of their commitment to each other. The couple's wedding attire reflects the fashion trends of the 18th century, adding an air of elegance and nostalgia to the composition. Behind them stands a majestic tomb belonging to Anthony Morris, an influential mayor from colonial Philadelphia. This historical reference adds depth and context to the painting, reminding us of America's rich heritage. The artist skillfully captures not only human subjects but also includes a mischievous raccoon perched atop one of the scales. This unexpected addition injects a touch of whimsy into an otherwise romanticized scene. Ferris' meticulous attention to detail brings this moment in time vividly to life. Through his brushstrokes, he invites us to reflect on love, marriage, history, and our own place within it all. This fine art print allows us to appreciate Ferris' masterful technique while immersing ourselves in a bygone era where tradition meets progress. It serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and food for thought as we contemplate our own relationships against the backdrop of history.
