Original Description
George Stubbs’ The Farmer’s Wife and The Raven (Lennox-Boyd 69) is a captivating 18th-century etching that blends naturalism with subtle narrative tension. Known for his anatomical precision in equine portraits, Stubbs here shifts focus to a rustic scene where a farmer’s wife distractedly stirs a pot while a bold raven perches nearby, eyeing her activity with sly opportunism. The mood oscillates between pastoral tranquility and underlying drama, enhanced by Stubbs’ meticulous linework and dramatic contrasts of light and shadow. Executed in 1771, this work reflects the Enlightenment-era fascination with nature and rural life, while showcasing Stubbs’ lesser-known but masterful printmaking skills. As part of his Rural occupations series, it occupies a significant niche in British art history—bridging scientific observation with storytelling, and offering a counterpoint to his celebrated horse paintings.
For interior styling, this etching’s monochromatic elegance lends versatility. In a study or home library, frame it in a slim black or gilt wood frame (maximum 40x50cm) to complement traditional or transitional spaces. Pair with earthy tones like olive green or ochre walls to echo its rustic themes, or juxtapose it against modern gray upholstery for contrast. In an office, hang it near leather-bound books or a weathered wooden desk to amplify its vintage charm. The raven’s dark silhouette and the composition’s vertical flow make it ideal for narrow walls or as part of a gallery wall with other Stubbs prints or botanical sketches. Opt for matte glass to reduce glare while preserving the delicate etching details.
