Walrus Hunt, 1801
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating monochrome drawing by Elizabeth Fitzgerald, showcased in the Art Institute of Chicago's vast collection. This 19th-century artwork depicts a group of British hunters engaged in a walrus hunt, a common practice during this era for obtaining ivory and other valuable resources. The scene is set on a rocky, icy coastline, with several hunters in rowing boats approaching a herd of walruses basking on the shore. One hunter, dressed in a heavy coat and wielding a gun, stands at the bow of a boat, ready to take aim. Another hunter, poised with a long gun, is perched on the edge of the boat, while a third hunter rows the boat steadily towards the walruses. The drawing is executed in pen and black ink with brush and gray wash over graphite on ivory laid paper. The intricate details of the hunters' clothing, the textured boats, and the rough, jagged coastline are rendered with remarkable precision and skill. The hunters' determined expressions and focused body language convey the intensity and danger of the hunt. The walruses, with their massive tusks and bulky bodies, are depicted with equal care and attention. Their curious and somewhat bemused expressions add an unexpected element of humanity to the scene. The use of chalk and graphite adds depth and texture to the drawing, while the ink and wash create a sense of movement and energy. This powerful and evocative drawing offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when hunting was a necessary means of survival and a source of cultural heritage. It is a testament to Elizabeth Fitzgerald's artistic talent and her ability to capture the essence of a moment in time.
