EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming handcoloured lithograph from 1829, we are transported to a parlour where a woman is meeting a portly dandy. The scene captures the essence of social interactions in the 19th century, with the woman appearing charmed but also slightly amused by the oafish demeanor of her companion.
The large mirror and elegant sofa in the background add to the luxurious setting, highlighting the opulence of bourgeois life during this time period. The detailed fashion choices of both characters - from the woman's feathered bonnet to the dandy's top hat - speak volumes about their social status and sense of style.
Created by the Gihaut brothers after an illustration by Jean Gabriel Scheffer, this print is part of a series titled "Petites Scenes du Monde," which explores different aspects of social life and human interaction. Through humor and wit, these small scenes offer a glimpse into everyday moments that are both relatable and entertaining.
As we observe this encounter between two individuals from different walks of life, we can't help but smile at their exchange. The contrast between charm and oafishness creates a delightful tension that invites us to ponder on societal norms and expectations. This print serves as a reminder that even in polite society, there is always room for laughter and light-heartedness.
