Copperplate etching, plate 305 x 475mm (12 x 18¾"), with very large margins. Some discolouration. Repairs made leaving a bit of cockling within the image, however largely unnoticeable and textured effect in the margins.
A shepherd and his dogs watch over his sheep during a snowstorm. A copperplate etching by Frederick Slocombe (1847-1920) from an original painting by Joseph Farquharson (1846-1935). The picture has been signed by both men. Farquharson has captured the remarkably realistic effects of a snow storm by painting the original painting in the open air albeit from the relative comfort of the artist's specially constructed mobile painting hut, which contained a stove. The sheep, however, were false, fabricated in plaster by a local sculptor.
