EDITORS COMMENTS
In Silvestro Lega's charming painting "Little girls playing the ladies," we are transported back to a simpler time in 1872 Italy. The scene captures the innocence and imagination of childhood as a group of young girls role-play as sophisticated ladies. Dressed in elaborate costumes, they mimic the manners and gestures of adults with an endearing earnestness.
Lega's attention to detail is evident in the delicate brushstrokes that bring each girl to life, from their rosy cheeks to their flowing dresses. The soft colors and warm light create a nostalgic atmosphere that invites viewers to reminisce about their own carefree days of make-believe.
As we gaze upon this timeless artwork, we are reminded of the universal joys of youth and the power of imagination. It serves as a gentle reminder to embrace our inner child and find joy in simple pleasures. "Little girls playing the ladies" is not just a painting; it is a window into a world where innocence reigns supreme and creativity knows no bounds.
This print from Istituto Matteucci in Viareggio allows us to cherish Lega's masterpiece for generations to come, preserving its beauty for all art enthusiasts to enjoy.
