EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming 19th-century handcoloured lithograph, we see a lady receiving a rose from a gentleman in a park under a statue. The lady coyly says, "It's not a favor, it's only fair," while secretly thinking, "You intrigue me!" This playful scene captures the essence of romance and intrigue in the bourgeoisie society of Paris during that time.
The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the fashion and social customs of the era. The Gihaut brothers did an excellent job capturing the beauty and elegance of the characters in this scene. Jean Gabriel Scheffer's illustration adds depth and emotion to the interaction between the lady and gentleman.
As they stand under the watchful eye of the statue, one can't help but wonder about their relationship and what lies ahead for them. Is this just a simple gesture or could it be something more meaningful? The humor and subtle hints at romance make this print truly captivating.
This image from Petites Scenes du Monde is not just a snapshot of daily life; it is a glimpse into a world filled with charm, wit, and hidden desires. It reminds us that even in centuries past, love and intrigue have always been part of human nature.
