EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil on canvas portrait by Arthur Devis, titled "John Ward of Squerries" we are transported back in time to the English countryside. The painting captures a moment frozen in history, showcasing Mr. Ward standing proudly amidst a picturesque landscape. Dressed in traditional hunting attire, Mr. Ward dons breeches and an elegant costume that exudes sophistication and class. His hat sits jauntily upon his head, while he holds a shotgun firmly in his grasp - evidence of his passion for sport and the thrill of the hunt. A loyal companion stands faithfully at Mr. Ward's side, a well-trained dog ready to retrieve any fallen game from their successful shooting expedition. Grouse and partridge lay lifeless on the ground nearby, testifying to their prowess as hunters. The attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke brings out the texture of Mr. Ward's clothing and even showcases his hip flask tucked neatly into his belt - perhaps offering some liquid courage during long hours spent outdoors. With a walking stick or cane supporting him, John Ward emanates confidence and authority as he gazes directly at us with unwavering determination. This full-length portrait truly captures not only his physical appearance but also hints at his character - strong-willed yet refined. This exquisite painting from Bridgeman Images transports us back to an era where hunting was not just about survival but also served as a symbol of status and leisurely pursuits enjoyed by gentlemen like John Ward of Squerries.
