EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph titled "Drawing Water" takes us back in time to a charming anecdote from the animal kingdom. Created by Percy James Billinghurst, this print showcases his exceptional talent for illustrating animals with great detail and expression. The scene depicted in the litho transports us to Carisbrook, where we witness an amusing encounter between an ass and its human companion. The artist beautifully captures the essence of nature as we see the ass diligently drawing water from a well. This delightful illustration was originally featured in A Hundred Anecdotes of Animals, a book published in 1901. Billinghurst's skillful use of shading and line work brings life to this whimsical moment, making it feel almost tangible. The intricate details on both the animal and its surroundings transport us into their world, capturing our imagination. As we admire this print, we are reminded of the beauty found within nature's simplicity. It serves as a gentle reminder that even mundane tasks can hold moments of joy and wonder if observed closely enough. This particular lithograph is part of a private collection but has been made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. Its timeless appeal makes it an ideal addition to any art enthusiast's collection or anyone seeking inspiration from nature's anecdotes captured through artistry.
