Sobre a obra
Often described as the 'father of British sporting painting', Francis Barlow was one of the first professional English illustrators and etchers. He had a lively interest in nature and often sketched from life. In this drawing the focus lies on the domestic animals in the farmyard, while the human inhabitants and landscape are rather a background setting. Unusally for his time, Barlow depicted his animal models in their natural environment, freed from the traditional heraldic context in which animals were mostly shown.
Earlier in his career, Barlow contributed a number of illustrations to Edward Benlowe's Theophila, published in 1652. The V&A's National Art Library holds a copy of the book that incorporates an original drawing by Barlow, alongside the engraving (Dyce 614).
