The Year's at the Spring 1920

"The Year's at the Spring" is a 1920 illustration by Irish artist Harry Clarke, known for his distinctive black and white style. The piece depicts a solitary figure in a long coat and hat standing on a path as wind whips through tall grasses. Clarke's detailed linework and use of stark contrasts creates a sense of foreboding and mystery, characteristic of his illustrations often inspired by literary works. The image evokes themes of isolation, nature's power, and the passage of time.
