EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed color lithograph, titled "Sheep shearing, c. 1820" captures a picturesque scene of rural life in the early 19th century. Created by James Ward (1769-1859) and now part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this print showcases the artist's skillful portrayal of everyday farm activities. In the foreground, we see a group of farmers and shepherds diligently tending to their flock. A dog stands faithfully by their side, ready to assist with herding duties. The idyllic countryside setting is complete with a charming cottage nestled amidst rolling hills. The image also highlights the presence of children in this agricultural community. A young boy holds onto his walking stick while observing the sheep-shearing process with curiosity. This inclusion adds an element of innocence and youthfulness to the composition. Ward's attention to detail is evident throughout - from capturing each strand of wool being carefully removed from the sheep's back to depicting various expressions on both human and animal faces. This piece truly transports viewers back in time, allowing them to experience firsthand the hard work and tranquility that defined life on a farm during this era. With its rich colors and masterful execution, "Sheep shearing" serves as a testament to James Ward's talent as an artist and offers us an enchanting glimpse into rural England centuries ago.
