EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming handcoloured lithograph from 1829, we see two elegant ladies lounging on a sofa in a parlour. The scene captures a moment of leisure and conversation between friends, as one lady casually remarks, "You know there's no hurry," while the other playfully thinks to herself, "She won't move!" The intricate details of their attire and surroundings reflect the fashionable elegance of the early 19th century bourgeoisie.
The artist behind this delightful illustration is Swiss painter Jean Gabriel Scheffer, whose work often depicted scenes of social life with humor and wit. The Gihaut brothers skillfully brought his vision to life through their expert handcolouring technique, adding depth and vibrancy to the print.
As we gaze upon this snapshot of bygone days, we are transported to a world where language was subtle and gestures spoke volumes. The delicate lace trimmings on their dresses, the frills on their bonnets, all hint at a society that valued beauty and refinement.
This print not only captures a moment in time but also invites us to ponder the nuances of human interaction and friendship. It serves as a reminder that sometimes it's not just what is said out loud but also what is left unsaid that truly defines our relationships.
