EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating portrait captured by Anthony Frederick Augustus Sandys. This exquisite piece of art showcases the artist's mastery in using coloured chalks on pale blue paper to create a mesmerizing image. The subject of the portrait is Gertrude, the youngest child of Sandys and his actress wife Mary Jones. In this half-length seated portrait, Gertrude exudes an air of wisdom and thoughtfulness. Surrounded by beautiful flowers, particularly roses, she embodies both beauty and intellect. The delicate floral wreath adorning her head symbolizes her connection with nature and hints at her interest in botany and natural history. Sandys' pre-Raphaelite style shines through in this artwork as he pays meticulous attention to detail, capturing every nuance of his daughter's features. The soft pastel hues used for coloring add depth and dimension to the composition while enhancing Gertrude's serene expression. This print brings forth not only a stunning visual representation but also tells a story about family bonds and love. It serves as a testament to Sandys' affection for his children while showcasing his exceptional talent as an artist. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, "The Laurel Wreath" continues to captivate viewers with its timeless elegance and artistic brilliance.
