EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Picking Stocks" we are transported to a bygone era, where the art of stock picking was not confined to Wall Street but rather found amidst the serene beauty of a flower nursery. Painted by Henry Herbert La Thangue, a renowned English artist from the late 19th and early 20th century, this artwork captures both the essence of rural life and the delicate craftsmanship required in selecting blossoms for sale. The scene unfolds within an idyllic garden setting, with baskets brimming with vibrant flowers awaiting their turn to be picked. A group of women clad in traditional attire carefully examine each stem, their expertise evident in their discerning eyes and gentle touch. The interplay between light and shadow adds depth to the composition, casting an ethereal glow upon these diligent workers. La Thangue's masterful brushstrokes bring forth an enchanting atmosphere that transports us back in time. We can almost feel the warmth of sunlight filtering through foliage as we witness this timeless moment frozen on canvas. This evocative piece reminds us that even amidst bustling markets and financial endeavors, there is solace to be found in nature's embrace. As we gaze upon "Picking Stocks" let us appreciate not only its artistic merit but also reflect on how it encapsulates a simpler way of life – one where patience and skill were paramount when choosing stocks. . . of flowers.
