EDITORS COMMENTS
John Frederick Hering's captivating monochrome drawing, "Ducks, Ducklings and Grindstone," transports us to a serene and idyllic scene in 19th century England. The artist masterfully employs a combination of brush and black wash over graphite on cream wove card to bring this tranquil moment to life. At the heart of the composition lies a loving family of ducks and their adorable ducklings, gathered around a worn grindstone. The ducks, with their sleek, glossy feathers, seem to exude a sense of calm and contentment as they rest beside the water's edge. Their young ones, still learning to navigate the world around them, follow closely behind, their tiny forms a testament to the circle of life. The grindstone, a symbol of hard work and tradition, serves as a backdrop to this heartwarming scene. Its weathered surface, etched with the marks of countless hours of labor, stands in stark contrast to the delicate beauty of the waterfowl. This exquisite drawing, a product of Hering's remarkable artistic talent, invites us to pause and appreciate the simple joys of nature and family. A true masterpiece, "Ducks, Ducklings and Grindstone" is a must-see for anyone with a passion for art, animals, or the heritage of the Victorian era. On display at the Art Institute of Chicago, this precious work of art is a testament to the enduring appeal of Hering's brush and pencil, and a reminder of the beauty that can be found in the most ordinary moments of life.
