A Pastoral
Etching, 1893, 203 x 274 mm., Hardie 47 undescribed etched proof before mezzotint and before the monogram on the shield. Fine impression in brown on cream chine-appliqué with large margins, signed in pencil. The print is after a Turner drawing meant for the Liber Studiorum but not etched or engraved prior to Short’s print. The scene is of the “classical landscape” variety, showing a typical (if fictitious) landscape in the Roman Campagna with classical ruins and archaic figures. Short did not complete the plate in mezzotint until three years later.
