The Time was Young
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolour painting by William Lee-Hankey, created between 1903 and 1914. In this artwork, the artist showcases his exceptional talent for capturing figures in watercolour, particularly evident in the portrayal of a young girl. During the early 1900s, Lee-Hankey ventured to France in search of untouched scenes depicting village life. This particular piece exemplifies his ability to convey bucolic landscapes with vibrant colours and delicate brushstrokes. The artist employed washes of watercolour on damp paper throughout the composition, allowing the hues to blend seamlessly. The focal point of the painting is undoubtedly the young girl seated near a cottage. She exudes innocence and youthfulness as she holds a basket filled with unknown treasures. Behind her lies a picturesque countryside scene complete with quaint houses, bridges, and winding roads that lead into an idyllic village. Lee-Hankey's attention to detail brings every element within "The Time was Young" to life – from the rustic buildings to the lush greenery surrounding them. Through this artwork, he transports viewers back in time to an era when simplicity reigned supreme. This print captures not only Lee-Hankey's remarkable skill but also evokes feelings of nostalgia for rural landscapes and carefree childhood days spent exploring nature's wonders. It serves as a timeless reminder that even amidst modernity, there will always be beauty found in simpler times.
