EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century lithograph, two gentlemen are depicted standing in front of the bustling stock market, engaged in a lively conversation. The scene is beautifully composed, with a handsome cab visible behind them adding to the charm of the setting.
One of the gentlemen appears to be expressing his frustration, exclaiming "God, you mock everything, have you no conscience?" Meanwhile, his companion seems lost in thought, pondering perhaps the complexities of life and society. The juxtaposition of their words and thoughts adds an intriguing layer to this snapshot of social interaction.
Created by the talented Gihaut brothers after an illustration by Swiss artist Jean Gabriel Scheffer, this hand-colored lithograph captures not only the humor and wit of everyday life but also reflects on deeper themes such as morality and perception. The detailed depiction of Parisian bourgeoisie during this era provides a glimpse into the fashion and social norms prevalent at that time.
As we admire this artwork from Petites Scenes du Monde series, we are transported back to 1829 Paris, where conversations about wealth and ethics were as relevant then as they are today. This print serves as a reminder that human nature transcends time and place, making it a timeless piece worth contemplating.
