EDITORS COMMENTS
This pencil sketch by William Henry Hunt depicts Miss Sarah Bown, who would later become the esteemed wife of Sir Joseph Paxton. The delicate lines and shading bring out the grace and elegance of this young woman, capturing her beauty for eternity. In this portrait, Miss Bown is shown in a profile view, leaning against a chair with an air of poise and confidence. Her full-length figure is adorned in a fashionable dress that showcases the style of the era. Every detail has been meticulously captured by Hunt's skilled hand, from the intricate folds of her gown to the subtle contours of her face. Sir Joseph Paxton himself was renowned as both an architect and Member of Parliament but is best remembered for his iconic design of the Crystal Palace. This drawing serves as a testament to his discerning taste in choosing Miss Bown as his life partner. The artwork now resides within The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth House, where it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm. Reproduced here with permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, this print allows us to appreciate not only Hunt's talent but also glimpse into a significant moment in history. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and allure that drew these two individuals together – forever preserved on paper through artistry and love.
