Lady with the Rooks, 1829
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating wood engraving on India paper by British artist Edward Calvert. This intriguing artwork from the 19th century depicts a woman standing in a mystical forest surrounded by rooks, also known as Corvus frugilegus. The black and white composition adds an ethereal quality to the scene, emphasizing the connection between nature and humanity. Calvert's meticulous attention to detail brings each element of this print to life. The intricate rendering of trees and plants creates a lush woodland backdrop that envelops the lady and her feathered companions. As she gazes into the distance, one can't help but wonder about her thoughts or what secrets lie hidden within this enchanted realm. The choice to include rooks in this piece adds symbolism and depth to its meaning. These intelligent birds are often associated with mystery, wisdom, and transformation in folklore. Their presence suggests that there may be more than meets the eye in this serene setting. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), "Lady with the Rooks" showcases Calvert's mastery of wood engraving technique. Its third state out of three exemplifies his dedication to perfecting his craft. This remarkable print invites viewers into a world where humans coexist harmoniously with nature's wonders. It serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with all living beings and encourages us to appreciate the beauty found within even the simplest moments spent among trees and birdsong
