EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a thought-provoking drawing titled "Avarice" by the talented artist Willette, created in 1917. The image depicts an allegorical scene that delves into the depths of human greed and materialism. In this intriguing composition, a naked woman is portrayed amidst a botanical setting, holding a delicate flower in her hand. Her expression carries a sense of longing and desire as she gazes upon the flower with intense fascination. Symbolizing the sin of avarice, this powerful artwork invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship with wealth and possessions. Willette's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen, capturing both the beauty and darkness inherent in our pursuit of worldly goods. This drawing serves as a reminder that excessive greed can blind us from appreciating life's true treasures – love, compassion, and genuine human connection. The print itself has been expertly captured by Leonard de Selva, highlighting the intricate lines and shading techniques employed by Willette over a century ago. With its timeless message about the dangers of unchecked greed, this artwork continues to resonate with audiences today.
