Description
This Pen & Ink picture by the well known Victorian Artist Edward Matthew Ward is relatively small measuring approx 15cm in height by 12.5cm in Width portraying either a Priest or a Monk conducting a Blessing for the family of four, who are all dressed in costume which I think would be that from the late Medieval Period circa 1400. The Priest or Monk stands over the kneeling family holding the Crucifix whilst he delivers the blessing. The signature of E M Ward and the date 1846 is at the bottom of the picture.. The picture sits in a much later painted wooden frame and mount and its previous owner has written on the back the name of the Artist and The Title of the Drawing as well as some other information which I cannot completely decipher the meaning of especially the numbers, but I know RA would refer to The Royal Academy and I think Exb refers the years his works were exhibited in England 1834-1878. * EDWARD MATTHEW WARD Born in 1816, as a youngster he illustrated the book 'Rejected Addresses' by his Uncles James and Horace Smith as well as illustrating some papers of Washington Irving. In 1836 with the help of David Wilkie and Francis Legget Chantrey he enrolled at The Royal Academy Schools. Whilst a Member of the Schools he became part of a Group known as the Clique led by Richard Dadd seeing himself as a follower Wilkie and Hogarth. Many of his paintings were set in the seventeenth century history as well as scenes from the French Revolution. He was not at all impressed by the Pre-Raphaelites whose style of painting he considered un-British. In the 1850s he won the commission for what he is probably most well known for and that is the painting of eight murals in the palace of Westminster depicting episodes in British history from The Civil War to The Glorious Revolution. During the 1860s he continued with his love of painting of moments in British history but in the 1870s he began to suffer a painful illness and depression and on the 10th January 1879 he was found raving on the floor of his dressing room his throat cut with a razor shouting "I was mad when I did it; the devil prompted me". And although medical help arrived he died at his home five days later on the 15th January. I have to say I thank Wikipedia for this information as indeed have a number of other sites who display his work also refer to. * AGE - Pen & Ink Picture - 1846. Frame and Mount - Circa 1980 * CONDITION - The Pen & Ink Picture itself is in good condition with no foxing that I can see, the paper has almost certainly darkened and there can be seen a light horizontal crease I would imagine from where it was originally stored and an even fainter vertical crease. I also want to point out that I cannot see the title of the picture 'The Blessing' anywhere on the picture itself it is only on the verso on the back of the frame, but I do wonder if the title may possibly have been somewhere on the paper now hidden by the mount or possibly given by an Auction House at a Sale. The frame too is in good condition. * DIMENSIONS (Approx) - Framed -Height 13&1/2" / 34.5cm, Width 11&3/4" / 30cm, Depth 1" / 2.5cm.
