EDITORS COMMENTS
Fox Stealing a Cock" is a captivating graphite drawing on ivory wove paper by the 18th century British artist Samuel Howett. This exquisite work of art, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the intricate details and masterful technique of the artist. The drawing portrays a cunning fox in the act of stealing a rooster, its sharp teeth sinking into the bird's neck as it clutches it with one paw. The expression on the fox's face is one of stealth and determination, while the rooster's eyes are wide with shock and fear. The drawing is a testament to Howett's skill in capturing the essence of wildlife in their natural habitat. The countryside setting is depicted with great attention to detail, from the textured foliage in the background to the intricate feathers of the rooster. The contrast between the sleek, agile body of the fox and the plump, unsuspecting rooster highlights the delicate balance of nature and the instinctual hunt. The drawing is a rare example of the artist's work, as Howett is best known for his portraits of the British aristocracy. This piece, however, demonstrates his versatility and ability to capture the beauty and intrigue of the natural world. The use of graphite pencil on ivory paper adds to the drawing's delicate and intricate quality, making it a must-see for any art lover or wildlife enthusiast. The "Fox Stealing a Cock" is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the 18th century and the enduring allure of wildlife art. It invites us to appreciate the natural world and the delicate balance of power that exists within it, while also showcasing the skill and artistry of Samuel Howett.
