Marmaduke Cradock, Chickens – 17th-century engraving with watercolour","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn original 17th-century engraving print, Attrib. Marmaduke Cradock, Chickens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn intriguing hand-coloured engraving attributed to the 17th-century English painter of birds and animals Marmaduke Cradock (1660–1716). This is one of a pair of works attributed to Cradock that we have for sale with the provenance of William Drummond (Covent Garden Gallery, London), the renowned British drawings and watercolours dealer. The card mount bears an inscription in Drummond's hand, 'give to BM' (British Museum). There are to date only four known drawings by Cradock, three of which are in the British Museum, and two of which are in watercolour over graphite. All are studies of fowl and relatively small in scale, similar to the present study (see BM 1863,0110.232, 1863,0110.233 and 1863,0110.234, all thought to be Ex. Collection of John Henderson).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarmaduke Cradock (1660–1716) was born in Somerton, Somerset and moved to London, where he was apprenticed to a house-painter. He was, however, self-taught as an artist, specialising in bird and animal subjects. He depicted individual birds with great accuracy, and studies such as this—likely related to his oil paintings—indicate that he did observe directly from nature. Such authenticity is common in bird paintings of this date, a reflection of an increasing interest in the natural world, and a scientific drive to observe and classify different species. Cradock's work, however, is notable and distinct from many of his contemporaries in that he chose to depict humble native or farmyard species rather than the exotic birds favoured by artists painting for wealthy, courtly patrons. He preferred to work for those who paid him a daily rate, or for dealers, and—according to the antiquarian George Vertue—shunning the direct patronage of ‘Noblemen or Quality … supposing they wou’d confine his genius to their fancy’. As a result, Cradock's work has an accessible and humble appeal, despite his high accomplishment in oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis unusual engraving is printed in red-brown ink and appears to be a single-sheet print rather than one of a series reproduced for sale or publication. Although printing in sanguine reached a height of popularity in the 18th century, single colour intaglio prints were in continuous production from the late 15th century onwards. In the 17th-century, intaglio colour printing techniques were particularly practised in Dutch print workshops. Cradock's own bird subjects were influenced by still life paintings of the Dutch Golden Age and artists from or working in the Netherlands, such as Melchior d'Hondecoeter (1636–1695) and Jakob Bogdani (1658–1724). The ink colour in the case of this print was most likely chosen over conventional black for personal artistic reasons, to better represent the birds and possibly the result of artistic experimentation—fitting Cradock's individualist ethos. The extensive hand-colouring of the print further distinguishes the work as unique. Significantly, there is a further graphite sketch on the verso of the paper, which ties the print on the recto to the hand of the original artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCradock died in London in 1717. Soon afterwards some of his works were sold at three or four times the price he had received for them in his lifetime.

The view is no doubt, like other drover subjects by Richardson, in the Scottish Highlands, a landscape favoured by the artist for its rugged splendor. Richardson is known to have painted 'Drovers above Loch Tay', depicting Scotland's traditional cattle drovers en route to the famous tryst at Crieff—where drovers from the north, and their 30,000 cows, would converge on the Perthshire town. Another work by the artist, in the Victoria and Albert Museum (FA.539), shows figures and animals crossing an Aberdeenshire bridge.
