EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An Early Delivery, 1893" by Kittelsen depicts a whimsical scene from the series "Do the Animals have a Soul". In this anthropomorphic illustration, we witness an unexpected and comical accident involving a female toad who is smoking a cigar. She appears startled as she drops her precious cargo of cracked eggs while holding an elegant parasol. Surrounding her are various male frogs anxiously observing the mishap, along with a fallen bird's nest and vibrant flowers. Amidst all the chaos, a tiny chick emerges from one of the broken eggs, symbolizing new life amidst unforeseen circumstances. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke of this watercolor on paper masterpiece. The delicate colors and intricate composition bring this enchanting moment to life, allowing us to marvel at Kittelsen's imaginative storytelling abilities. This intriguing artwork captures both humor and tenderness simultaneously. It invites viewers into a world where animals possess human-like qualities and emotions. As we gaze upon this painting, we can't help but ponder deeper questions about nature's mysteries and contemplate whether animals truly have souls. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical gem for art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its charm for generations to come.
