Unknown Lady
Silhouettist: Frith, Frederick
Method of acquisition: Given (1921-06) by Humphrey, Laurence, Mrs
Production date: AD 1841
This full-length silhouette is a good example of Frith's fine use of bronzing for the details of dress is shading to give solidity to the figure. It also shows the marked Victorian charm often found in his silhouettes of female sitters that was in contrast to the exhuberance found in those depicting his military clients.
