"Cartoon For 'Waiting For The Breeze'" is a preparatory work by the distinguished British artist Joseph Edward Southall, a leading figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement. Born in 1861, Southall was renowned for his revival of the tempera painting technique, a method that had largely fallen out of favor since the Renaissance. This particular cartoon, created as a preliminary study for a larger piece, exemplifies Southall's meticulous approach to composition and his dedication to craftsmanship.

The work captures a serene and contemplative moment, characteristic of Southall's style, which often emphasized tranquility and the beauty of the natural world. The scene depicted in the cartoon is imbued with a sense of anticipation, as suggested by the title "Waiting For The Breeze." This anticipation is subtly conveyed through the poised figures and the delicate rendering of their surroundings, which hint at the imminent arrival of a gentle wind.

Southall's cartoons were integral to his artistic process, serving as detailed blueprints that allowed him to experiment with composition, form, and color before committing to the final piece. These preparatory works are highly valued for their insight into the artist's creative process and his methodical approach to art-making. The cartoon for "Waiting For The Breeze" is no exception, showcasing Southall's skill in draftsmanship and his ability to convey mood and atmosphere through line and shading.

As a prominent member of the Birmingham Group, Southall's work was deeply influenced by the principles of the Arts and Crafts Movement, which advocated for the return to traditional craftsmanship and the integration of art into everyday life. His dedication to these ideals is evident in the careful attention to detail and the harmonious composition of the cartoon.

Today, Joseph Edward Southall's works, including his preparatory cartoons, are celebrated for their contribution to the revival of tempera painting and their embodiment of the Arts and Crafts ethos. "Cartoon For 'Waiting For The Breeze'" remains a testament to Southall's artistic vision and his commitment to the values of beauty, craftsmanship, and harmony with nature.
