A Field Mouse, from Below
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and intricately detailed graphite, watercolor on wove paper drawing by the renowned 18th century Swiss artist, Johann Rudolf Schellenburg. This antique artwork, created around 1775, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the natural world with precision and sensitivity. The drawing depicts a field mouse in a striking and unique perspective, as if viewed from beneath the creature's tiny body. The mouse's head is turned to the side, revealing its expressive, beady eyes and delicate whiskers. Its body is rendered in exquisite detail, with every fur follicle meticulously captured through Schellenburg's masterful use of graphite and watercolor. This historic artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 18th century and the importance of natural history in art during that time. Schellenburg's attention to detail and commitment to accurately representing his subject matter make this drawing a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery. The drawing is currently on exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The combination of black pen and ink and watercolor on wove paper adds depth and texture to the artwork, enhancing the viewer's experience and appreciation for the intricacies of the natural world as depicted by this masterful artist. Schellenburg's "A Field Mouse, from Below" is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, natural history, or the intricacies of animal depiction. This beautiful and historic artwork invites us to slow down and appreciate the beauty and complexity of the natural world, one tiny detail at a time.
