Editor: This intriguing sketch by Prince Hoare features a woman in classical dress. It's delicate, but there's also something unfinished about it. What catches your eye when you look at it? Curator: It's fascinating to consider the paper itself, its likely source and the means by which Hoare acquired it. Was it expensive? Readily available? These factors deeply influence the production of sketches like this. Editor: So, the materiality of the sketch reveals production and class? Curator: Precisely. And consider the red chalk highlights – deliberate choices affecting the viewer's perception and potentially revealing underlying social narratives. What do you make of it now? Editor: Seeing it that way, it is definitely more than a study of form. I've learned a lot about contextualizing art.
