With lips, cold as stone
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a hauntingly beautiful moment frozen in time. This vintage engraving from the classic children's tale, Babes in the Wood, takes us back to an era of innocence and wonder. The delicate strokes and intricate details of this 19th-century style print transport us to a world where imagination reigns supreme. In this scene, we see two little girls with their eyes closed, gently kissing two small boys on their foreheads. Their pale faces reflect a sense of melancholy and vulnerability that tugs at our heartstrings. The artist skillfully portrays the fragility of youth through these unwell characters. The composition exudes a timeless elegance; it is as if we are peering into an antique photograph discovered in an attic long forgotten. Each brushstroke tells a story - one filled with mystery and longing for days gone by. Duncan1890's mastery shines through in every detail, capturing the essence of innocence lost amidst the passage of time. This print serves as a poignant reminder that even within darkness there can be beauty – albeit tinged with sadness. Whether displayed on its own or part of a larger collection, "With lips, cold as stone" invites viewers to delve into their own imaginations and rediscover forgotten tales from childhood. It is truly an exquisite piece that evokes emotions both familiar and profound
