EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a study for the renowned artwork titled "The Peep-O-Day Boys Cabin, in the West of Ireland" or commonly known as "The Sleeping Whiteboy" created by British artist David Wilkie in 1835. The image captures the essence of rural life in Ireland during that time. Wilkie's expertise is evident in this watercolor masterpiece, which measures 23.4 x 21.9 cm (9 3/16 x 8 5/8 in. ). Using a combination of point brush and gouache techniques, he skillfully brings to life the rustic cabin nestled amidst the picturesque Irish landscape. The scene depicts a group of young boys from the Peep-O-Day Boys organization, an early Protestant agrarian secret society active during the late eighteenth century. They are seen resting inside their humble abode after a long day's work, symbolizing their dedication and resilience. With delicate strokes of graphite and brown ink, Wilkie adds depth and texture to his composition. Each detail meticulously captured on paper transports viewers back to this significant period in history. This remarkable study not only showcases Wilkie's artistic prowess but also serves as a window into Irish culture at that time. It reminds us of the importance of preserving our heritage through art and provides valuable insight into societal dynamics centuries ago.
