The Brook
Wood engraving, first edition.
Formerly in the collection of the English wood engraver Reynolds Stone, gifted by the publisher Sampson Low, Marston and Company.
"The scene is again pastoral... Two bare-shouldered women, their flimsy dresses slightly activated by the breeze, bring hydriai to the water to be filled... It is a sign of Calvert’s breadth of vision that ‘The Brook’ could be taken to illustrate both a lush pagan landscape, or to show a Christian view of the River of Life, with the Sheep of His Pasture grazing amidst plenty." - Raymond Lister, Edward Calvert, 1962.
From the edition of 350.
