EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Cecilia Tower, 1889" is a stunning oil on canvas masterpiece by James Jebusa Shannon. The painting, measuring an impressive 182.56 x 134.94 cm, can be found at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in California. Cecilia Tower, the subject of this exquisite artwork, was married to Christopher Tower of Weald Hall in Essex during the late 19th century. This Edwardian-era portrait showcases her elegance and refinement as she sits gracefully in a formal evening dress. The artist skillfully captures the essence of fin de siècle society with his attention to detail and composition. Cecilia exudes aristocracy and wealth through her regal posture and affluent attire. Her full-length figure radiates sophistication against a backdrop that reflects the aesthetic movement popular during this time. Shannon's use of color and light adds depth to the painting while highlighting Cecilia's beauty. The delicate boa draped around her shoulders further enhances her allure. This remarkable piece not only serves as a visual feast but also provides us with a glimpse into English high society during the Belle Époque era. It stands as a testament to Shannon's talent for capturing both physical likeness and inner character through his brushstrokes.
