EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the early 1930s, showcasing figures promenading in a picturesque wooded park. Painted by Rex Whistler, or possibly attributed to him, this oil on glass artwork measures 69x53 cm and is part of a private collection. The image portrays an elegant gathering of people leisurely strolling through the parkland. Men and women are dressed in fashionable attire of the time, with ladies donning bonnets and gentlemen sporting refined suits. The painting exudes an air of politeness and gentility as society members engage in conversation while enjoying their surroundings. Intriguingly stylized, the painting also features riders on horseback amidst the trees. These mounted figures add an element of grandeur to the scene, their presence exaggerated for artistic effect. The horses themselves symbolize both wildlife and farm animals, blending nature with human activity. Whimsical yet sophisticated, this artwork offers a glimpse into c19th fashion trends while simultaneously capturing moments of leisurely enjoyment in public spaces. It beautifully showcases how horse riding was not only considered a sport but also served as a fashionable pastime for both men and women during that era. With its meticulous attention to detail and skillful execution, this painting by Rex Whistler (or attributed to him) remains timeless even today. Its charm lies not only in its portrayal of genteel society but also in its ability to transport viewers back to an era where elegance met natural beauty within
