EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming handcoloured lithograph from 1829, we see a gentleman flattering an older woman in front of a cozy fireplace in a parlour. The scene is filled with humor and wit as the gentleman exclaims, "I'd die if you were over 30!" to which the older woman responds with a playful smile, revealing that they have been married for 30 years.
The illustration captures a moment of social interaction between two characters from the bourgeoisie class in 19th century France. The dandy-like appearance of the gentleman and the elegant attire of the older woman reflect the fashion and style of the time.
The artist, Jean Gabriel Scheffer, has masterfully depicted not only the physical attributes but also captured the essence of their personalities through their expressions and body language. The handcoloured details add depth and vibrancy to this delightful scene.
This small vignette offers a glimpse into everyday life during this period, showcasing how people interacted and communicated with each other. It is both humorous and endearing, reminding us that flattery can be found even after many years of marriage.
Overall, this print is a wonderful example of 19th-century artistry and storytelling, inviting viewers to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and its insightful commentary on human relationships.
