EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming handcoloured lithograph from 1829, we are transported to a picturesque garden scene where two elegant ladies engage in conversation. The caption reveals a playful exchange between the two women, with one complimenting the other on her beauty at the ball. However, as we delve deeper into their thoughts, we discover that both ladies believe themselves to be the true belle of the ball.
The intricate details and vibrant colors of this print bring to life a moment of social interaction and feminine camaraderie in 19th century France. The Gihaut brothers have expertly captured not only the physical beauty of these women but also their wit and humor through subtle gestures and expressions.
As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the complexities of human relationships and how flattery can sometimes mask underlying insecurities or rivalries. The juxtaposition between what is said aloud and what is truly thought adds an element of intrigue to this scene, inviting viewers to ponder on themes of vanity, self-perception, and social dynamics.
Overall, this delightful lithograph serves as a window into a bygone era filled with elegance, charm, and perhaps a hint of playful competition among friends.
