EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Street Performers" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of London in the mid-19th century. Created by George Scharf the Elder, this pencil sketch captures a lively scene filled with entertainment and charm. In the foreground, we see a group of street performers who have gathered an audience with their impressive act. The focus is on two dogs dressed in elaborate clothing, showcasing their incredible training as they jump through hoops held by their skilled handler. The dogs' graceful movements are frozen in time, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pencil. From the intricate patterns on the performers' clothes to the expressions on their faces, Scharf brings these characters to life on paper. This theatrical street scene offers a glimpse into Victorian-era entertainment and reminds us of simpler times when such performances were popular forms of amusement. As we admire this historical artwork, we can't help but be transported back to that era where buskers like these would captivate passersby with their unique talents. Through this drawing's impeccable composition and skillful execution, Scharf invites us to immerse ourselves in this enchanting moment from London's past.
