Painting Description
"Portrait of Anne Brontë (1820-49) from a drawing in the possession of the Rev. A. B. Nicholls" is a notable artwork that captures the likeness of Anne Brontë, the youngest of the Brontë literary siblings, who is best known for her novels "Agnes Grey" and "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall". The portrait holds significant cultural and historical value as it is one of the few contemporary images of Anne, providing a visual connection to the author whose life was cut short by illness at the age of 29.
The drawing was created by her sister, Charlotte Brontë, who was not only a renowned author in her own right, with works such as "Jane Eyre" and "Villette", but also a talented amateur artist. Charlotte's sketches of her sisters are among the few surviving portraits of the Brontë family, offering a rare glimpse into their personal lives and physical appearances.
This particular portrait is further distinguished by its provenance, having been in the possession of the Reverend A. B. Nicholls, Charlotte Brontë's widower. After Charlotte's death, Nicholls held onto various personal effects, including this drawing, which serves as a testament to the close relationship between the Brontë sisters and the enduring legacy of their literary and artistic contributions.
The portrait is executed with a delicate touch, reflective of the intimate and personal nature of the subject. It is not only a work of art but also a document of familial affection and an artifact of Victorian literary history. The drawing is a poignant reminder of Anne's gentle presence in the Brontë family and her lasting impact on English literature.
As a piece of art, the portrait is an example of the amateur but heartfelt portraiture common in the 19th century, which often served as a means of capturing the likenesses of loved ones in an era before the widespread availability of photography. The drawing's significance is enhanced by its connection to the Brontës' literary achievements and the insights it provides into the personal dynamics of this extraordinary family.
