EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "John and Charlotte, 1801" showcases the artistic brilliance of Henry Edridge. The portrait depicts two young children, John and Charlotte, who are believed to be the offspring of General Vere Poulett of Addington, Bucks. Standing side by side in a full-length pose, their innocence is beautifully captured through Edridge's meticulous use of grey wash over black lead on paper. The siblings exude an air of elegance as they gaze directly at the viewer with serene expressions. John holds a guitar in his hands while Charlotte stands gracefully beside him. Their bond as brother and sister is palpable; it radiates from their shared presence within the frame. Measuring 32.3x23.8 cm, this masterpiece can be found at The Higgins Art Gallery & Museum in Bedford, UK. It serves as a testament to Edridge's talent for portraiture during the early 19th century. Through this timeless image, we catch a glimpse into the lives of these privileged children from yesteryears – their youth frozen forever on paper. This print not only captures their physical appearance but also hints at their personalities and aspirations. As we admire this work by Bridgeman Images today, let us appreciate how art has preserved moments like these throughout history – reminding us that even centuries later, human emotions remain universal and eternally relevant.
