EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled 'Dost know this Waterfly?' by G W Rhead after J Pettie, RA, transports the viewer to a scene straight out of a Shakespearean play. The intricate details and expert shading bring to life the characters in this 19th-century artwork from the English School.
The composition draws you in with its dramatic lighting and expressive figures, capturing a moment of mystery and intrigue. The title itself invites us to ponder the identity and intentions of the enigmatic "Waterfly" character depicted here.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the timeless appeal of classical artistry and storytelling. The skillful technique employed by Rhead in translating Pettie's original work into lithograph form is evident in every line and shadow.
