EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor painting depicts a Water Buck pausing for a drink at the edge of the Thego River in the 1930s. The serene scene is brought to life by the skilled brushstrokes of an unidentified artist, showcasing the natural beauty of the African landscape and its wildlife. The Water Buck, a large antelope with distinctive red markings on its face and body, is seen in profile, its head tilted as it quenches its thirst from the river's edge. The reflection of the buck's form in the calm waters adds depth and dimension to the artwork. The painting is believed to have been created during the 1930s, a time when the world was captivated by the adventure and exploration of Africa. The setting of the painting, with its lush vegetation and clear, blue waters, evokes a sense of tranquility and wonder. The painting's provenance is linked to the Scout Association, as it was sourced from their archives at Mary Evans Prints Online. It is possible that the painting was created as part of a scouting expedition to Africa, as the organization has a long history of promoting outdoor activities and exploration. The painting's rich history is further enhanced by the presence of notable figures associated with the Scout Association and Africa during the 1930s. Chief Scout Robert Baden-Powell, who founded the Scout Movement in 1907, and Lord Baden-Powell, his brother and Governor-General of Kenya from 1931 to 1936, were both active in Africa during this time. It is possible that the painting was created during one of their expeditions or was inspired by their experiences in the region. This beautiful watercolor painting is a testament to the enduring allure of Africa's natural beauty and the spirit of adventure and exploration that continues to inspire us today.
