EDITORS COMMENTS
This pochoir print, titled "Ballroom Scene" is a stunning illustration from the renowned novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. Created in 1934 by the talented artist Georges Barbier, this artwork captures the essence of the story's intriguing characters and scandalous themes. The scene depicts Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil, one of the central figures in this tale of deceit and manipulation. Dressed in an exquisite ballgown adorned with plumes, she exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. Surrounding her are other members of high society, all dressed in extravagant 18th-century costumes. In this decadent ballroom setting, we witness a world filled with corruption and moral ambiguity. The oversized wigs worn by some guests symbolize their desire to hide their true intentions behind layers of artifice. Whispers fill the air as evil gossip spreads like wildfire among these amoral individuals. Barbier's meticulous attention to detail brings this scene to life, capturing not only the opulence but also hinting at the underlying sexual intrigue that permeates throughout Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Through his masterful brushstrokes and vibrant colors, he transports us back to a time when social conventions masked hidden desires and dangerous liaisons were formed. This remarkable print serves as a visual reminder of both French culture during that era and Barbier's exceptional talent as an illustrator. It invites us into a world where appearances can
