SummaryTwo Victorian women in the isolation of their own homes created portraits and tableaux. From 1857- 1864, Clementina Viscountess Hawarden made so-called “Studies from Life,” which have far more significance than their general title would imply. A more widely recognized contemporary artist, who began her photographic endeavors a short year after Hawarden’s ceased, Julia Margaret Cameron produced images which have themes sympathetic to those within “Studies from Life.” Photography began as a source of entertainment for these ladies.
Table of Contents
- Through technical style and the happenstance of amateur discovery, Cameron and Hawarden place their own expression into the portraits.
- In Cameron's portraits of women as well as in Hawarden's photographs of her daughters, the subjects have been removed.
- In Hawarden's photographic studies it is less clear what part of herself the artist has put into her images.
