My Dear Little Shock
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating c19th century print that showcases the artistic brilliance of John Samuel Agar, an esteemed English portrait painter and engraver. Created in 1910, this colour aquatint captures a heartwarming scene of a young girl standing on the coastal shores, holding her beloved dog named Shock. The print exudes a sense of innocence and joy as it transports us back to the Victorian era. Dressed in a beautiful white dress, the girl radiates purity and elegance against the backdrop of the seaside. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, from the intricate folds of her dress to the delicate features on her face. Agar's mastery lies not only in his ability to capture human subjects but also animals. Shock, with its fur glistening under sunlight, adds an element of playfulness and companionship to this charming composition. Displayed prominently in "The Connoisseur" magazine during its time, this artwork resonated with viewers who appreciated Agar's talent for portraying childhood innocence and capturing fleeting moments. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times at the turn of the 20th century, there was still appreciation for traditional art forms like aquatints. Today, "My Dear Little Shock" continues to captivate audiences with its timeless charm and exquisite craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Otto Limited's collection, we are reminded of Agar's legacy as one of England's finest portrait painters and engravers.
