EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical handcoloured lithograph from 1829, we are transported to a bustling restaurant where a man and woman are seated with a glutton. The man, clearly taken aback by the glutton's voracious appetite, exclaims, "But you don't eat?" Meanwhile, the glutton himself is deep in thought, perhaps contemplating his next indulgence with a mischievous grin.
The scene captures not only the humor of social interactions but also hints at themes of excess and good living. The opulent setting of the restaurant, complete with champagne and gourmet dishes, speaks to a certain level of extravagance associated with the bourgeoisie lifestyle during this time period.
The intricate details in this illustration by Swiss artist Jean Gabriel Scheffer bring to life the characters' personalities and emotions. From the dandy gentleman to the elegant lady and attentive waiter, each figure adds depth to the narrative unfolding before us.
As we peer into this snapshot of 19th-century Parisian society, we can't help but chuckle at the comedic exchange between these colorful characters. It serves as a reminder that sometimes what we say may not always align with what we truly think – especially when faced with someone who seems to have an insatiable appetite for life's pleasures.
