EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: "The Proud Gander" (circa 1918) This exquisite watercolour painting, created around 1918, captures the regal and proud demeanor of a male goose as he stands amongst the sticks and foliage of a bush. The gander's piercing gaze and erect posture convey a sense of confidence and dominance, making for a truly captivating image. In the background, a quaint cottage window can be made out, framing the scene and adding a touch of domesticity to the otherwise natural setting. The use of soft, muted colours in the painting adds to its charm and timeless appeal. This beautiful work of art is by the talented Scottish artist, Helen Galloway McNicoll. McNicoll was known for her detailed and expressive watercolours, which often featured animals and the natural world. Her work was regularly featured in various magazines and volumes throughout the early 20th century. The precise details in the painting, from the intricate patterns on the goose's feathers to the textured bark of the bush, demonstrate McNicoll's exceptional skill as a painter. This image, with its charming subject matter and stunning execution, is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the beauty and essence of the natural world.
