Hind and Calf c. 18th century

Editor: So, we're looking at Samuel Howitt's "Hind and Calf." It feels frantic, like a snapshot of survival in the woods. What's your take on it? Curator: The energy is palpable, isn’t it? To me, it whispers of the romantic era's fascination with nature, but also hints at a deeper connection. Does it make you think of anything beyond a simple woodland scene? Editor: Maybe the vulnerability of motherhood? The calf seems so dependent. Curator: Exactly! There's an innocence juxtaposed with the wild. A reminder that beauty and fragility coexist. Editor: It's amazing how much story he packed into a single print. Curator: Indeed! I find the piece quite touching. What a journey of discovery!
