EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A Civet with a Cockerel from History of Quadrupeds" transports us back to the year 1790 when it was created by the talented artist Thomas Bewick. The print, now part of a private collection, showcases an intriguing encounter between two distinct creatures - a civet and a cockerel. The delicate lines and intricate details in this artwork bring these animals to life before our eyes. The civet, known for its sleek appearance and nocturnal habits, stands tall with an air of curiosity as it gazes upon the vibrant plumage of the cockerel perched nearby. Its sharp claws are subtly emphasized in the engraving, hinting at its predatory nature. Meanwhile, the proud cockerel exudes confidence with its colorful feathers proudly displayed. Its beady eyes seem fixed on something beyond our view, perhaps alert to any potential danger posed by its feline companion. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to Bewick's skillful craftsmanship. As we observe this enchanting scene from centuries ago through his artistic lens, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with both nature and history. Through Fine Art Finder's platform provided by www. bridgemanimages. com , this remarkable piece can now be appreciated anew by art enthusiasts around the world who seek to delve into the realms of animal behavior and natural history depicted within this exquisite engraving.
