EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Gathering Wood" takes us back in time to a simpler era. Engraved by R. M. Meadows and published by John Raphael Smith in 1793, this stipple engraving showcases the artistic brilliance of George Morland. The scene depicts a picturesque forest with a hollow tree at its center, where two children are diligently collecting firewood. The innocence and charm of childhood radiate from this image as we witness these young ones engaged in their task. A little girl, reminiscent of Gretel from the classic fairytale, stands beside a small boy who carries an armful of gathered wood. Their determined expressions reveal their sense of responsibility as they contribute to their family's needs. Morland's attention to detail is evident throughout the engraving; every line etched with precision brings life to the forest setting. The play of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its overall beauty. This enchanting print captures not only the essence of childhood but also highlights our connection with nature. It serves as a reminder that even simple tasks can hold great significance when performed with dedication and love. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this timeless piece continues to inspire viewers through its masterful composition and evocative storytelling.
