EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph, titled "She left her wheel and robes of country brown" by William Lee Hankey, transports us to a serene countryside setting. The image is part of a private collection and was originally published in the book "The Deserted Village" by Constable & Company Ltd in 1909. Hankey's artistic talent shines through as he skillfully captures the essence of rural life in this picturesque scene. A young maiden, dressed in traditional village attire, has momentarily abandoned her spinning wheel and rustic garments. Her departure from these humble elements suggests a longing for something beyond the simplicity of her surroundings. The painting is inspired by Oliver Goldsmith's renowned poem "The Deserted Village" which explores themes of nostalgia and loss within an idyllic countryside community. Hankey expertly translates Goldsmith's words into visual form, evoking a sense of melancholy and solitude that permeates the deserted village. Through his masterful use of color and attention to detail, Hankey invites viewers to reflect on the passage of time and the inevitable changes that befall even the most tranquil places. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder that beauty can be found not only in bustling cities but also within quiet corners where nature thrives. As we gaze upon this exquisite print, we are transported to an era long gone but forever preserved through art—a testament to both Hankey's talent as an artist and our collective human desire to cherish memories of simpler times.
