EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching titled "Duck Shooting". Thomas Rowlandson takes us on a journey to the tranquil beauty of an English lake. The scene, expertly captured by George Morland, showcases the delicate balance between man and nature. As we gaze upon the print, our eyes are drawn to a small boat nestled among lush rushes and reeds along the bank. A lone hunter stands poised with his gun, ready for action. His anticipation is palpable as he awaits the flighting ducks that will soon grace the sky above. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke of his engraving brings life to each element in this composition. The ripples on the water seem almost tangible, mirroring the serenity of nature undisturbed. Rowlandson's use of color adds another layer of depth to this artwork. Soft hues blend seamlessly together, creating an atmosphere that evokes both tranquility and excitement simultaneously. This particular print transports us back in time to 1789 when it was first published by J. Harris. It serves as a testament not only to Rowlandson's artistic prowess but also to our enduring fascination with capturing moments in nature through art. Displayed proudly in a private collection today, this etching reminds us of our connection with nature and how it has inspired artists throughout history.
