EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Four Oxen Pulling Plough" created by Constant Troyon in 1853. The French artist, born in 1810 and passing away in 1865, masterfully employed black chalk and gouache with graphite and gum Arabic to bring this scene to life. The composition measures approximately 35.5 x 28.1 cm (14 x 11 1/16 in. ) on a sheet of paper. In this piece, Troyon captures a serene rural moment as four powerful oxen diligently pull a plough through the earth. Their muscular bodies strain against the weight while their determined expressions reveal their unwavering commitment to the task at hand. The artist's attention to detail is evident not only in his depiction of the animals but also in the meticulous rendering of their surroundings. The use of black chalk adds depth and texture to the image, while traces of white chalk delicately highlight elements within the sky. Additionally, Troyon squared off sections for transfer using black chalk—an intriguing technique that hints at his artistic process. This print from Liszt Collection allows art enthusiasts and admirers alike to appreciate Troyon's skillful brushwork and ability to capture both beauty and strength within nature's creatures. It serves as a timeless reminder of our connection with animals and our reliance on them for agricultural purposes throughout history.
