| The inclusion of swans in A Summer
Day Andante gives the etching an added air of tranquillity and
contributes to the atmosphere which
Norman Lindsay so successfully conveys. He obviously considered which
breed of dog would best suit the subject and used his numerous
photographs
of dogs for reference. Norman's choice of the Borzoi, the dog on
the left in A Summer Day Andante, is a perfect complement to the
elegant group assembled around the quartet; the Borzoi, also known
as the Russian Wolfhound, was bred exclusively for the aristocracy
of Czarist Russia. The other dog in this etching looks like a Welsh
Springer Spaniel. |
