EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming lithograph, we are transported to the world of Edward Lear, a renowned English artist and writer. At the age of 73 and a half, Lear humorously captures himself alongside his beloved feline companion, Foss, who is aged 16. The image showcases Lear's self-parody as an elderly man with a walking stick in hand, emphasizing both his wit and playfulness. With meticulous detail and skillful engraving techniques, he brings forth his own likeness while also capturing the essence of old age. Lear's self-portrait exudes warmth and tenderness as he gazes affectionately at Foss. The cat appears contented in its owner's arms, symbolizing companionship and loyalty that transcends time. This print not only serves as a testament to Lear's artistic prowess but also offers us insight into the bond between humans and their pets. It reminds us that even in our later years, love knows no boundaries or limitations. As we admire this delightful scene from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but appreciate how art has the power to immortalize moments of joy and connection across generations.
