Shooting Duck, engraved by H. Merke, c. 1809 - A Captivating Glimpse into the World of British Sporting Art
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This remarkable print captures a moment frozen in time from the early 19th century, showcasing an exquisite colour lithograph titled "Shooting Duck". Created by Samuel Howitt and engraved by H. Merke in 1809, this artwork is a testament to the rich heritage of British sporting art. The image depicts a scene teeming with action and excitement as a skilled hunter takes aim at his target. Surrounded by lush vegetation and serene waters, he stands tall with unwavering focus while his loyal gundogs eagerly await their master's command. The dogs' intense gaze reveals their anticipation for the imminent shot. Dressed impeccably in traditional male attire complete with hunting belt and gun, our protagonist exudes both confidence and respect for this age-old sport. His expertise is evident as he skillfully maneuvers through nature's obstacles to secure his prized game. The artist's attention to detail brings every element to life - from the vibrant plumage of the ducks soaring overhead to the fallen prey lying motionless on the ground below. This composition not only celebrates man's harmonious relationship with nature but also pays homage to Britain's deep-rooted passion for outdoor pursuits. Now part of a private collection under The British Sporting Art Trust, this print serves as a window into history - reminding us of our enduring fascination with wildlife, adventure
