EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Aubrey Beardsley's artistic brilliance in his design titled "Pierrot as Caddie". Created with pen and ink in 1894, this piece captures the essence of elegance and whimsy. The image depicts a female caddy dressed in traditional Pierrot attire, complete with a ruffled collar and conical hat. She stands gracefully, holding a golf club while exuding an air of confidence. The intricate details of her costume are beautifully rendered, showcasing Beardsley's meticulous craftsmanship. Commissioned by Mr R. Hippisley Cox for the opening of the Princes Ladies Golf Club in Mitcham, Surrey, this artwork served as a unique representation of the sport at that time. It is part of The Early Work of Aubrey Beardsley collection published by John Lane, Bodley Head in London in 1899. Beardsley's distinctive style shines through in this composition - bold lines combined with delicate shading create a visually striking contrast. The simplicity yet complexity captured within each stroke draws viewers into an enchanting world where art meets sport. This timeless piece not only celebrates golf but also challenges societal norms by featuring a woman as both golfer and caddy during an era when such roles were predominantly male-dominated. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries and can transcend gender stereotypes. Displayed proudly on any wall or gallery space, this print is sure to captivate admirers who appreciate fine artistry intertwined with sporting history.
