EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Weasel, 1832" by Edward Lear showcases the artist's incredible talent and attention to detail. Lear's use of watercolor, pen, ink, gouache, and gum over graphite on wove paper brings this charming creature to life in a truly remarkable way. The weasel depicted in the artwork exudes a sense of wildness and curiosity as it perches delicately on a branch. Its sleek fur is beautifully rendered with intricate brushstrokes that capture every nuance of its texture. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the composition, making the weasel appear almost three-dimensional. Displayed at the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, USA as part of the prestigious Paul Mellon Collection, this piece exemplifies Lear's mastery in capturing nature's beauty through his art. The small size of 19.1x28.3 cm invites viewers to closely examine each stroke and appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship behind it. This particular print is an English masterpiece from 1832 that has since entered into public domain due to its age. It serves as a testament to Lear's enduring legacy as one of Britain's most celebrated artists.
