EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Children in Brittany" takes us back to the early 20th century in France. The image showcases a group of peasant children from Brittany, adorned with traditional headdresses and clogs. Their tear-streaked faces evoke a sense of melancholy and sadness, capturing the raw emotions of childhood. Originally created as an advertising illustration for the renowned lingerie store Au Cygne in Paris around 1910, this print offers a glimpse into the lives of these young ones. The French School artist behind this masterpiece expertly captures every detail, from their clothing to their expressions. The presence of a loyal canine companion adds another layer to this poignant scene. These children find solace in each other's company and share their sorrows with their furry friend. The handkerchief clutched tightly by one child suggests that they are seeking comfort amidst their tears. This engraving not only serves as an advertisement but also acts as a window into history and culture. It portrays the distinctive attire worn by countrymen during that era while highlighting the beauty and uniqueness of Brittany's traditional costume. Preserved within private collections today, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless depiction of childhood innocence tinged with sorrow. As we gaze upon these children frozen in time, we can't help but wonder about their stories and empathize with their heartfelt emotions.
