EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a print from the series "Shadow and Substance" by Charles H. Bennett, created in 1860. In this pastoral scene, a lady is depicted taking a leisurely walk with her dog in a tranquil countryside setting. However, a closer look at her shadow reveals an intriguing and unexpected twist. The shadow cast by her voluminous petticoat appears to be that of a shepherdess, complete with a crook over her shoulder and a sheep following behind. Charles H. Bennett was a renowned English illustrator, known for his innovative use of shadow in his work. This series of shadow portraits of fictional characters showcases his exceptional artistic skill and creativity. In this particular illustration, Bennett masterfully employs the play of light and shadow to create a duality between reality and imagination. The lady's simple, elegant attire and the serene landscape surrounding her add to the pastoral charm of the scene. The presence of her dog by her side further emphasizes the idyllic and peaceful atmosphere. Yet, the shadow's portrayal of a shepherdess and her sheep adds an element of surprise and intrigue, inviting the viewer to peer deeper into the image and ponder the connection between the two. This print is a testament to Bennett's artistic vision and his ability to transform the mundane into the extraordinary through the art of shadow play. The image invites us to appreciate the beauty of the natural world and the power of the imagination, as well as the intriguing possibilities that lie within the realm of shadows.
