Original Description
"At The Bend Of The Stream" by Marguerite Kirmse captures the serene essence of 1920s sporting art. This masterful etching transports viewers to a misty English countryside at dawn, where a pack of noble hounds pauses mid-hunt by a winding stream. The delicate yet precise linework showcases Kirmse's signature style - combining Victorian romanticism with early 20th-century sporting realism. As one of the few prominent female animalier artists of her era, Kirmse revolutionized canine portraiture by imbuing hunting scenes with lyrical atmosphere rather than mere documentation. The horizontal composition leads the eye along the water's curve while morning fog softens the distant trees, creating an exquisite balance between movement and stillness. This work represents a pinnacle of the sporting print revival between World Wars, when collectors prized such works for their technical perfection and nostalgic pastoralism.
For interior styling, this print's muted sepia tones and dynamic yet balanced composition make it ideal for traditional study rooms or executive offices. The ideal frame would be a 2"-wide distressed gold leaf with subtle patina to complement the warm tones, sized approximately 24"×16" to command attention without overwhelming. Position above a mahogany bookshelf or leather Chesterfield sofa to create an Anglophile hunting lodge aesthetic. In contemporary spaces, pair with sage green walls and brass accents for warm contrast, allowing the artwork's subtle silvery highlights to shine. For maximum impact in larger rooms, consider flanking with sconces using amber-tinted glass to echo the golden dawn light in the scene. The horizontal format works exceptionally well in dining rooms above buffets or in hallway galleries alongside other sporting prints, always allowing 8-10 inches of clear wall space around it to appreciate the detailed linework.
