Romeo and Juliet, with Friar Lawrence (pencil, pen & ink on paper)
2956796 Romeo and Juliet, with Friar Lawrence (pencil, pen & ink on paper) by Solomon, Simeon (1840-1905); 20.9x10.8 cm; Private Collection; (add.info.: An early drawing of the kind that the artist GP Boyce described as showing much Rossetti-like feeling after he saw some sketches by the seventeen year old Simeon on a visit to his older brother Abrahams studio in 1857. These sketches, once the Pre-Raphaelites had seen them, became Solomons passport into the art world. Their awkward sensitivity, and the slender, rather stiff figures of imploring boys and innocent girls recall the earliest drawings of the Brotherhood from ten years earlier. (This drawing was the cover picture of the catalogue to the Ms Gallerys first exhibition of Pre-Raphaelite pictures in 1961, that Jeremy Ms claimed was the first commercial exhibition of Pre-Raphaelite paintings held in the entire history of the movement.)); Photo eThe Ms Gallery, London; English, out of copyright

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite artwork titled "Romeo and Juliet, with Friar Lawrence" by the talented artist Solomon, Simeon. Created using pencil, pen & ink on paper, this piece measures 20.9x10.8 cm and is part of a private collection. The drawing exudes a distinct Rossetti-like feeling that caught the attention of GP Boyce when he saw sketches by the seventeen-year-old Simeon in 1857. These sketches became Solomons ticket into the art world after being discovered by the Pre-Raphaelites. The delicate sensitivity portrayed in his work, along with slender figures of imploring boys and innocent girls, harken back to the earliest drawings of the Brotherhood from ten years prior. Interestingly enough, this particular drawing served as the cover picture for Ms Gallery's first exhibition of Pre-Raphaelite pictures in 1961. Jeremy Ms claimed it was not only their inaugural commercial exhibition but also marked a significant milestone in Pre-Raphaelite history altogether. With its intricate details and poignant portrayal of Shakespeare's iconic characters Romeo and Juliet alongside Friar Lawrence, this artwork captures both tragedy and innocence within its composition. It stands as a testament to Solomon's early talent and serves as an important artifact within art history.
