EDITORS COMMENTS
A Check, 1869" is a captivating pen and ink drawing by the renowned British artist Randolph Caldecott. This 19th century artwork, created in black and white, depicts an amusing incident in the English countryside. The scene unfolds in a sprawling field, where three men dressed in traditional hunting attire are engaged in a heated argument. A stubborn fox, having eluded the hunters during a fox hunt, lies defiantly in the center of the image, checking its tail with a smug expression. The men, having lost their quarry, are shown with exasperated faces, their horses rearing and snorting in the background. Caldecott masterfully captures the essence of the English countryside and the traditions of fox hunting, while adding a touch of satire and parody to the scene. The use of pen and brown ink on tan wove paper laid down on wood pulp board adds to the drawing's textured and timeless quality. This artwork is a testament to Caldecott's artistic prowess and his ability to capture the spirit of his time and place. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, the heritage of Britain, or the simple joys of country life. On display at the Art Institute of Chicago, "A Check, 1869" is a reminder of the rich artistic legacy of the past and the enduring appeal of the rural idyll.
