1835 Hand-Colored Lithograph: Hunting Still Life with Game and Dog

About the Item

The print titled "Een Stilleven" (A Still Life) is a finely detailed hand-colored lithograph from 1835, depicting a traditional hunting scene. The central focus of the composition is on a recently hunted hare and a bird, which are prominently displayed on the ground. The hare lies on its side, while the bird hangs from a rifle that rests against a wall in the background. The scene also includes various hunting accessories, such as a leather bag and a belt, adding to the realism and narrative of the hunt. A loyal hunting dog, a spaniel, sits alert beside the game, its expressive eyes capturing the viewer's attention. In the background, the setting extends into a manicured garden with classical elements, including a fountain and sculpted hedges. The landscape adds depth to the composition and contrasts with the detailed still life in the foreground. The name "Valckenburg" at the top of the print refers to Willem Constantijn Staring (1808 to 1877), who used the pseudonym Valckenburg. He was a Dutch poet and author, known for his writings that often included themes of history, nature, and rural life. In some cases, prints like these were created to illustrate books or other publications authored by or associated with prominent figures like Valckenburg. This would help to increase the appeal of the print, connecting it with a well-known name. Alternatively, Valckenburg might have been a patron or someone involved in the commissioning of the print. In summary, the name Valckenburg indicates a connection to Willem Constantijn Staring, adding literary or cultural significance to the print, either through direct authorship, inspiration, or patronage. Makers: - C. Le Roy: The artist responsible for the original drawing, known for his ability to capture intricate details and lifelike textures in still-life compositions. - Soetens & Fils: The lithography studio that produced the print, known for their high-quality lithographic work in the early 19th century. Technique: This lithograph was originally produced in black and white and later hand-colored to enhance the visual richness. The process involved drawing on a flat stone or metal plate, with areas treated to either retain or repel ink. The hand coloring was done post-production, adding vibrancy to the animals, the foliage, and the overall composition. Location and Date: - Production Location: The print was created in The Hague, Netherlands. - Date: 1835, placing it within a period where lithography was a popular medium for both artistic and commercial prints. Condition: The print is in fair condition with some age-related wear. There are visible age spots and slight discoloration, particularly around the margins. Despite this, the hand-colored areas remain vivid, and the paper is intact without any significant tears or creases. This print serves as a fine example of 19th-century lithographic art, combining still life with elements of hunting scenes, which were popular subjects during this period.
