The Lady and The Rooks
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 Lady with the Rooks’ is one of Calvert’s prettiest works. In it he leaves the timelessness of classicism and mysticism, and becomes mediaeval... A young woman, graceful and beautiful, flimsily clad, walks towards us. The time could be early morning or late evening in summer, for the sun is low in the sky, the atmosphere is quiet, and the breeze is still. If it were not for the existence of 'The Chamber Idyll ’I should place it as perhaps the most original and perfect of Calvert’s engravings." - Raymond Lister, Edward Calvert, 1962.
