More about this artwork

"Crane and Frogs" is a captivating sketch by the artist Samuel Howitt, illustrating an animated scene from nature that is both dynamic and full of life. Dating back to a period after 1813, this artwork exemplifies Howitt's adept skill in rendering wildlife with a spontaneous and spirited stroke.The sketch depicts a crane in the midst of action, its long neck extended and beak open, suggesting either a call or the climax of a swift strike. Surrounding the crane are various frogs, portrayed in mid-motion, which adds a sense of immediacy and urgency to the scene. The frogs, some partially submerged in water, appear startled or reactive to the crane's presence.Howitt's use of sketchy, loose lines to outline the figures and the soft shading techniques gives this drawing an ethereal quality, capturing the fleeting moments of natural life with elegance and energy. This piece is an excellent representation of Howitt’s work during a time when interest in wildlife and natural history illustration was flourishing in England, echoing the societal fascination with the natural world.
