EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale titled "I Have Married a Wife, and Therefore I Cannot Come" we are transported to the early 20th century. The scene takes place indoors, where a bright and vibrant interior sets the stage for an intriguing narrative. A woman dressed in a stunning blue gown stands at the center of attention. With her fiery red hair cascading down her shoulders, she exudes confidence and control. Leaning against a doorway, she holds herself with poise and grace. To her left stands another woman, dressed in green attire. Her presence adds depth to the composition as they both seem engaged in conversation or perhaps sharing secrets known only to them. On the right side of the image is a man leaning on his elbow, seemingly captivated by their exchange. His clothing suggests he belongs to an earlier era, adding an element of timelessness to this moment frozen in watercolor. This portrait captures not just three individuals but also conveys powerful concepts such as marriage and societal expectations. Through Fortescue-Brickdale's skilled brushwork, we are invited into this intimate scene that speaks volumes about relationships and personal choices. The print was originally featured in The Studio Volume 23 publication from 1901 by The Offices of the Studio Ltd. , London - now preserved by Heritage Images for art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its beauty and symbolism.
