EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "E'en children followed with endearing wile, and plucked his gown, to share the good man's smile" by William Lee Hankey transports viewers to a serene village setting. The artwork, part of a private collection, was published in 1909 as an illustration for Oliver Goldsmith's renowned poem "The Deserted Village". In this enchanting scene, we witness the profound influence of a kind-hearted clergyman on the villagers. As he strolls through the picturesque countryside adorned in his priestly robe, children flock to him with innocent charm. Their eyes sparkle with admiration as they reach out to touch his gown and bask in the warmth of his benevolent smile. Hankey masterfully captures not only the beauty of nature but also the essence of human connection and spirituality. Through delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors, he brings life to each character and evokes a sense of harmony between man and child. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst deserted landscapes or challenging times, goodness can prevail. The clergyman symbolizes duty fulfilled while embodying compassion and love for all members of society. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are reminded of our own capacity for kindness and how it can inspire others to follow suit.
