EDITORS COMMENTS
"Title: Mountain Goats and Dog, 18th Century Artist: Allwaert of Ghent (circa 1720-1777) Description: This exquisite 18th-century print by Allwaert of Ghent captures the tranquil moment of rest between a pair of mountain goats and a curious dog in a serene, idyllic landscape. The scene is rendered in pen and brown ink on tan wove paper, with the artist's deft hand showcasing the intricate details of the animals' textured coats and the natural surroundings. The mountain goats, their distinctive horns curving gracefully above their heads, appear to be taking a much-needed respite from their usual agile and elusive movements. One goat leans against a rocky outcropping, its eyes closed in peaceful repose, while the other gazes intently at the dog that approaches, its ears perked up in interest. The dog, with its alert posture and pointed ears, seems to be studying the goats, perhaps considering an attack or simply intrigued by their presence. The scene is reminiscent of the Belgian countryside, with its rolling hills and verdant foliage, and speaks to the artist's keen observation and appreciation for the natural world. This print, a testament to Allwaert of Ghent's mastery of the medium, is a beautiful addition to any collection of 18th-century art. It invites the viewer to contemplate the delicate balance between predator and prey, the peacefulness of nature, and the timeless beauty of the animal kingdom."
