EDITORS COMMENTS

Her attire reflects the fashion of the era, with a brown ringlet dress that accentuates her feminine shape. Engrossed in reading a magazine or letter, she exudes an air of sophistication and intellect. The color palette chosen by Ward adds depth to the scene, highlighting the rich hues of her clothing and emphasizing her beauty. The oval-shaped portrait is meticulously engraved, showcasing Ward's attention to detail and mastery of his craft. The title "The Choice" written in capital letters using Western script, hints at the concept behind this intriguing piece. As we delve into this artwork from Volume XX of "The Connoisseur" edited by J. T. Herbert Baily and published by Otto Limited in London in 1908, we are transported back to the elegance and refinement of 18th-century England. This print captures not only the aesthetics but also provides us with glimpses into society during that time. "The Choice" stands as a testament to William Ward's talent as both an artist and storyteller. It invites us to contemplate what choices lie before this enigmatic lady while marveling at the beauty captured within this timeless masterpiece.
