EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of countryside sport in all its glory. Titled "Shooting, plate 3" this engraving with etching was skillfully created by William Woollett in 1770. The work showcases the talent and precision of George Stubbs, who originally painted the scene. Measuring at an impressive 44.1x55.7 cm, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. It beautifully depicts a rural setting where a male sportsman engages in his favorite pastime. The image portrays a picturesque field adorned with lush greenery as our protagonist takes aim with his shotgun. His loyal hound stands faithfully by his side, ready to retrieve any game that may be shot down during their hunting expedition. Every detail has been meticulously captured, from the intensity on the shooter's face to the graceful stance of his pointer dog. This evocative piece not only celebrates countryside sport but also pays homage to nature and man's harmonious relationship within it. As we gaze upon this timeless masterpiece, we are transported back to an era when shooting birds was both a recreational activity and a means of sustenance. Through Woollett's masterful engravings and Stubbs' original painting, we can almost hear the rustling leaves and feel the anticipation that fills every hunter before they take their shot. This remarkable artwork serves as a testament to human ingenuity and artistic excellence while immortalizing an age-old tradition deeply rooted
