A Measure, 1904
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Edwin Austin Abbey that measures an impressive 216 x 138.2cm. The artwork depicts a scene from Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, specifically Act II Scene I, featuring the character Beatrice. In this vibrant outdoor setting of early twentieth-century urban life, Abbey skillfully captures the essence of music and imagination. The composition showcases a medium group of men and women engaged in various musical activities. A man plays an instrument while another dancer gracefully moves to the rhythm. Beatrice stands at the center with her arms raised in animated expression, embodying the lively spirit of dance. Abbey's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of clothing and accessories worn by the characters. The white garments against a colorless background create a striking contrast that draws viewers' eyes towards each figure. The artist's mastery lies not only in capturing physical appearances but also in conveying emotions through posture and facial expressions. This print beautifully reproduces "A Measure, 1904" allowing art enthusiasts to appreciate Abbey's talent even if they cannot view it firsthand in its private collection location. It serves as a testament to both Abbey's artistic prowess and his ability to bring fictional worlds to life on canvas.
