Hawking Huntress - Copper Illustration
A wiley young wanderer, perhaps a princess outcast to the wild-lands, with her Valiant Steed and sharp-eyed Hawk.
There's something unapologetic about this artwork, the rider's slightly dishevelled hitched up skirts and plumage of puffed sleeves. A denounciation of grandure and protocol and in its place, a oneness with feather and hoof and the wild winds that blow.
In history, hawking was one of the few sports women were allowed to participate in. A stereotype of promiscuity grew around the women who enjoyed it and it soon became symbolic of the wayward female.
This hand hammered copper and oil painted illustration is approximately 22.5cm x 20cm and sits in a tulip wood frame.
