1790 Bewick Capra Common Creature Goat Goats Hircus Lively Playful Capricious
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures the essence of the common goat, a lively and playful creature that has been a part of human history for centuries. The Bewick Goat, also known as Capra Hircus, is depicted in all its capricious glory in this historical image from 1790.
The artist, Thomas Bewick, may have intended a pun with his portrayal of this mischievous animal. Known for their agility and curiosity, goats have long been valued for their usefulness to humans - providing milk, meat, and even companionship.
In this detailed illustration from Mary Evans Picture Library, we see the goat's distinctive horns and shaggy coat rendered with precision. Its expressive eyes seem to hint at the mischief it is capable of getting into.
Despite its small size compared to other farm animals, the goat holds a special place in our hearts due to its spirited nature. Whether frolicking in fields or perched on rocky cliffs, these creatures never fail to captivate us with their antics.
This print serves as a reminder of the enduring relationship between humans and goats throughout history. It celebrates the unique charm and vitality of these beloved animals while showcasing Bewick's skillful artistry in capturing their essence.
