"Study for Aunt Pedigree, from Oliver Goldsmith’s She Stoops to Conquer" is a painting by Edwin Austin Abbey, an American artist renowned for his illustrations and paintings, particularly those depicting scenes from literature and history. Abbey was born on April 1, 1852, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and he developed a keen interest in art from a young age. He studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and later worked as an illustrator for Harper's Weekly, where he gained significant recognition.

The painting in question is a study for a character named Aunt Pedigree from the play "She Stoops to Conquer" by Oliver Goldsmith. "She Stoops to Conquer" is a comedy of manners that was first performed in London in 1773. The play is one of Goldsmith's most famous works and is still performed today. It revolves around the misunderstandings and romantic entanglements of its characters, with a particular focus on the themes of social class and mistaken identities.

Edwin Austin Abbey created this study as part of his broader body of work that often included illustrations for literary texts. His ability to capture the essence of characters and scenes from literature made him a sought-after illustrator during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Abbey's work is characterized by its attention to detail, historical accuracy, and the ability to convey the mood and personality of the characters he depicted.

In "Study for Aunt Pedigree," Abbey focuses on the character of Aunt Pedigree, who is a minor yet memorable character in Goldsmith's play. The study likely served as a preparatory work for a more finished illustration or painting, allowing Abbey to experiment with composition, character expression, and other artistic elements. The exact date of the study is not specified, but it would have been created during Abbey's active years as an illustrator and painter.

Abbey's contributions to the arts extend beyond his illustrations for literary works. He was also a muralist and created significant works for public buildings, including the Boston Public Library. His murals often depicted historical and allegorical themes, showcasing his versatility and depth as an artist.

"Study for Aunt Pedigree" exemplifies Abbey's skill in bringing literary characters to life through his art. His work continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and its role in visualizing classic literature. Abbey passed away on August 1, 1911, but his legacy endures through his extensive body of work, which remains influential in the fields of illustration and painting.
