Curator: This sepia drawing, held in the Tate Collections, is by the English artist Prince Hoare, who lived from 1755 to 1834. Editor: It’s a fleeting vista, the sepia wash giving it a dreamlike, almost melancholic feel. The trees are so dominant! Curator: Consider the trees in relation to the figures. They are bent as if permanently sculpted by the wind. This may represent the shaping forces of time on the figures’ journeys. Editor: And look how the artist uses only subtle tonal shifts in the sepia wash to create depth and volume. The light seems to emanate from within the paper itself. Curator: The horse and figures almost vanish, don't they? They seem resigned to the natural elements around them. Editor: It really feels like a captured moment, raw and immediate in its composition. Curator: Indeed, and the monochrome sepia adds to the sense of looking back. Editor: A lovely piece to contemplate!
