EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John William Waterhouse's "Study of a Head" from 1899, featured in The Studio Volume 18 by Ralph Nevill. In this side view portrait, we are introduced to the enchanting beauty of a young woman with striking blue eyes and flawless skin. Her elegant profile is accentuated by her luscious brown hair styled in a bun, adding an air of sophistication to her overall appearance. The artist masterfully captures the essence of femininity and grace through his meticulous attention to detail. Each strand of hair seems perfectly placed, framing her face like a work of art. This image transports us back to the turn of the century when such hairstyles were in vogue. As we gaze upon this stunning portrayal, it becomes apparent that Waterhouse intended more than just capturing physical beauty; he aimed to convey a deeper metaphorical meaning. Through his skillful brushstrokes and choice of subject matter, he invites viewers to contemplate notions of elegance and individuality. Published during the late 19th century by Studio Publications under Ralph Nevill's guidance, this print serves as an enduring testament to Waterhouse's artistic prowess. It reminds us that even amidst rapidly changing times at the dawn of the 20th century, timeless beauty remains head and shoulders above everything else.
