EDITORS COMMENTS
plate five from Robert Frankland's series "Indispensable Accomplishments," published on June 24, 1811, captures the essence of English country life in the early 19th century. The hand-colored etching on paper depicts a lone man on horseback, dressed in a riding habit and approaching a brook in the countryside. The man, identified as Sir Robert Frankland Russell, is shown in a thoughtful pose, gazing intently at the water as his horse nears the edge of the ditch. The scene is set in the rolling fields and farmland of England, with the geographical feature of the brook serving as a natural boundary. The etching is rich in color and detail, with the man's red riding habit and the brown horse standing out against the green fields and blue sky. The approach of the rider suggests the activity of fox hunting, a popular pastime among the English aristocracy at the time. The plate is a testament to Frankland's skill as an artist and his ability to capture the beauty and elegance of rural life in England. The hand-tinted etching, with its intricate details and subtle shading, invites the viewer to step back in time and experience the past through the eyes of Sir Robert Frankland Russell. This beautiful work of art is now part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago and is a valuable addition to any collection of 19th-century art, particularly those focused on British art and the depiction of rural life.
