EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: "Donkeys in the Countryside," 1914 This evocative painting captures the quiet beauty of a rural scene, featuring a pair of donkeys standing behind a worn fence and an open gateway. The donkeys, with their expressive eyes and patient demeanor, seem to be taking a moment to rest and observe the world around them. Beyond the fence, a broad expanse of lush, green fields stretches out, inviting the viewer to imagine the gentle sounds of nature that fill the air. The painting, created in 1914, is a colorful and detailed work of art that transports the viewer to a simpler time. The use of warm, earthy tones adds depth and texture to the scene, while the careful brushstrokes bring the donkeys and their surroundings to life. This painting was originally published in a magazine, appearing in Volume 6, Number 6 of "June" in 1916. The publication was likely a popular women's magazine of the time, and the image of the donkeys may have been chosen for its calming and idyllic qualities. The painting is part of the "March of the Women Collection" from Mary Evans Prints Online, a vast archive of historical images and illustrations. The collection includes a wide range of subjects, from art and literature to history and science, and is an invaluable resource for researchers, educators, and anyone interested in exploring the rich visual history of the past. Two women, Esther and Stella, are credited as the creators of this painting, but unfortunately, no further information is available about their identities or artistic backgrounds. Regardless, their work captures the essence of the rural idyll and invites the viewer to appreciate the simple pleasures of nature and the company of these gentle animals.
