EDITORS COMMENTS
Every Sweet Must Have Its Bitter, 1911 (woodcut) captures a poignant moment of farewell and longing. In this evocative print by George Algernon Fothergill, we witness a scene filled with emotion and romance. Set against a picturesque landscape, a female huntswoman on horseback bids her goodbye to a male huntsman. Both figures are mounted on their majestic horses, creating an atmosphere of elegance and grace. The woman waves her handkerchief in the air as she watches him depart, while he gazes back at her with sadness in his eyes. The woodcut technique used by Fothergill adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing the sense of nostalgia that permeates the scene. The artist skillfully portrays not only the human emotions but also captures the beauty and strength of these magnificent animals. This artwork speaks to themes of love, loss, and longing - reminding us that even in moments of joy there is often an underlying bitterness. It invites viewers to reflect upon their own experiences of parting or unrequited affection. Displayed within this private collection held by The British Sporting Art Trust, 'Every Sweet Must Have Its Bitter' continues to captivate audiences with its timeless depiction of sentimentality intertwined with equestrian sport.
