EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Shooting, plate 4" takes us back to the English countryside in the year 1771. Engraved by the talented William Woollett, this masterpiece showcases his exceptional skill in combining engraving with etching techniques. The image depicts a scene of woodland and rural sport, capturing the essence of a traditional English pastime. A hound stands proudly beside its master, both resting after an exhilarating chase. The surrounding landscape is alive with vibrant flora and fauna as they bear witness to this momentary pause. George Stubbs, renowned for his depictions of animals, created this artwork as an homage to the beauty found within nature's harmonious balance. His attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the intricate feathers of a pheasant perched on a branch to the delicate features of a hare darting through underbrush. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into an era where man and dog worked together in pursuit of game birds. The shotgun held by our male protagonist symbolizes not only their shared passion but also serves as a reminder that these activities were once essential for sustenance. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA, this piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm. It reminds us of our connection to nature and invites contemplation on how our relationship with wildlife has evolved over time.
