Silence, 1870. Dry pigment (pastel or chalk) on two sheets of joined wove paper, 41 7/8 x 30 3/8 in. (106.4 x 77.2 cm). In the last decades of the nineteenth century, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and his fellow British artists of the avant-garde Aesthetic Movement increasingly questioned the ideal of finish” and publicly exhibited sketches and studies like this one. Rossetti made countless drawings and paintings of his lover, the textile artist and model Jane Burden Morris. This work likely began as a study for the 1868 painting La Pia de’Tolomei, but Rossetti made it into an independent work of art, representing silence with the iconography of the veil and the peach branch, which he described as the symbol used by the ancients; its fruit being held to resemble the human heart and its leaf the human tongue.” The passages of blank, unmarked paper likewise suggest the idea of silence.

Like his colleague Eastman Johnson, Perry studied in Düsseldorf and Paris, where he acquired a respect for careful draftsmanship. He exhibited “A Months Darning” in 1876 at the American Society of Painters in Water Colors and later the same year at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, where it was acclaimed for its evocation of times past. The critic for the “New-York Tribune” found the womans head to be “the best part” of the composition and only regretted “that the sweet-faced girl.. should have such large-footed men-folks to darn for.”.

Location: PRIVATE COLLECTION. Bilbao. Biscay. SPAIN.The caption for this image reads: Omoo - 'We dropped in one evening and found the ladies at home-Omoo and Miss Ideea.' Omoo or A Narrative of Adventures in the South Seas, is a novel by the American novelist Herman Melville. Published in 1847, it was a sequel to Melvilles novel Typee. Based on his own experiences in the South Pacific, this episodic novel, in a more comical vein than that of Typee, tells of the narrators participation in a mutiny on a whale ship and his subsequent wanderings in Tahiti with the ships former doctor, Long Ghost. Herman Melville (1819-1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet of the American Renaissance period. Among his best-known works are Moby-Dick; Typee (a romanticized account of his experiences in Polynesia), Omoo, and Billy Budd.
