EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of Paris in 1875. The Place de la Concorde, beautifully captured by Edgar Degas on canvas, comes alive with its vibrant energy and timeless elegance. In this scene, we witness Vicomte Lepic gracefully crossing the square, exuding an air of sophistication and charm. His top hat adds a touch of class to his fashionable attire as he strolls confidently through the crowd. Degas masterfully depicts the art of flânerie - the leisurely act of wandering aimlessly through city streets - as Lepic becomes a dandy observer amidst the hustle and bustle. As our eyes wander across the canvas, we notice children frolicking nearby. A group of girls playfully chase each other, their laughter echoing through the air. Their presence adds an element of innocence and joy to this otherwise sophisticated tableau. Amidst it all, a mysterious figure stands out - a female smoker elegantly holding a cigar in her hand. Her ambiguous identity sparks intrigue and curiosity among viewers; is she defying societal norms or simply enjoying her own personal freedom? Degas' attention to detail is impeccable; every brushstroke captures not only physical appearances but also emotions frozen in time. This remarkable piece now resides at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia where it continues to inspire admiration for both its artistic merit and historical significance.
