EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "Thomas Futrell, 1788" showcases the remarkable talent of Henry Kingsbury, a renowned British artist from the late 18th century. The print measures an impressive 66x48.5 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The subject of this striking portrait is Thomas Futrell, a young athlete who was just 25 years old at the time. Dressed in traditional Georgian attire with breeches and full-length clothing, Futrell exudes strength and determination as he poses for the artist. Futrell's profession becomes evident through his powerful stance - he is depicted as a bare-knuckle boxer or pugilist. His muscular physique suggests years of rigorous training and dedication to his craft. This portrayal captures both his physical prowess and youthful energy. Kingsbury masterfully brings out every detail in this etching, highlighting not only Futrell's athletic abilities but also his character and spirit. The intensity in his eyes reveals a fighter ready to take on any challenge that comes his way. As we gaze upon this artwork today, we are transported back to an era where boxing was not only seen as a sport but also as an art form. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of these early sportsmen who paved the way for modern-day athletes. This print by Bridgeman Images offers us an opportunity to appreciate both the artistic skill of Henry Kingsbury and the indomitable spirit embodied by Thomas Futrell over two centuries
