EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a delicate sketch of a squirrel, dating back to 1879. Created by the talented artist William Barnes Wollen, this drawing is part of his extensive collection housed at the National Army Museum in London. Wollen was widely recognized for his exceptional battle paintings and had gained considerable acclaim as an artist with The Sphere publication. His artistic journey took him to South Africa during the Boer War, where he documented the conflict through his unique perspective. However, by 1916, when this sketch was created amidst the chaos of World War I, Wollen's romanticized depictions of military glory faced criticism from the press for being predictable and conventional. This particular drawing is one among a series found within Wollen's vast collection of 43 sketchbooks filled with pencil and pen-and-ink drawings spanning from 1874 to 1924. The intricate details captured in this timeless artwork beautifully portray the gracefulness and curiosity of a squirrel. Its lifelike representation transports viewers back in time to appreciate both Wollen's skillful technique and his ability to capture nature's wonders on paper. Displayed here courtesy of Bridgeman Images via Fine Art Finder, this print serves as a testament to Wollen's talent as well as an exquisite addition to any art enthusiast's collection.
