EDITORS COMMENTS
This pen-and-ink drawing by Albert Edward Sterner, created in 1886, transports us back to a time of leisure and elegance. The image showcases a young girl dressed in an upper-class attire, gracefully holding a bow with an arrow ready to be released. Her focused gaze and poised stance reveal her dedication to the sport of archery. The artist skillfully captures the essence of archery as both a physical activity and a form of relaxation. The precision with which the girl aims at her target highlights the importance of accuracy in this sport. It is evident that archery was not only seen as a means for exercise but also as an opportunity for women to showcase their skills and participate in daily life activities. The drawing exudes nostalgia for an era when sports were enjoyed amidst beautiful surroundings and refined company. This piece serves as a reminder that even during times marked by strict societal conventions, individuals found ways to engage in recreational pursuits while maintaining their social status. Albert Edward Sterner's attention to detail brings this historical moment alive on paper, allowing viewers today to appreciate the gracefulness and poise displayed by women participating in sports over a century ago. This print from Granger Art on Demand offers us insight into how leisure activities have evolved throughout history while reminding us of the timeless appeal of archery as both artistry and athleticism.
