More about this artwork

This artwork by Edward Penfield, illustrated for the cover of Collier's magazine dated November 14, 1903, captures a scene that feels both lively and narratively rich. It features three figures, likely in an urban setting, given the mention of "Theatre" and "Ticket Speculators" on the signage behind.The central figures, two elegantly dressed women, dominate the composition. They are depicted in stylish, early 20th-century attire, including large, ornate hats and tailored coats, which suggest a cool weather setting. The women's expressions and direct forward motion suggest they are purposeful, possibly striding toward a theater entrance. One woman, on the left, gazes slightly towards the viewer, with a demure expression, while the other, on the right, looks straight ahead, indicating a sense of determination or perhaps anticipation.There is also a man on the far left, part of his figure cropped by the edge of the image, who seems to be accompanying them. His attire and hat contrast slightly with the lavish style of the women, suggesting a different, perhaps more practical social role or character.

Edward Penfield (1866-1925) was an influential American poster artist, considered as the father of the American poster movement. He was employed as an art editor for Harper’s Weekly, Monthly, and Harper’s Bazaar, where he made posters advertising each issue of the magazine for over seven years. His art was avant-garde with less concern for the dramatic curving lines of Art Nouveau, inspired by Japanese ukiyo-e block prints, figure drawings by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, color lithographies by Jules Chéret, and other contemporary artists. He created simplified scenes of daily life in saturated colors, including horses, cats, sports, and women’s fashion.
