EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming handcoloured lithograph captures a humorous and slightly scandalous moment in 19th century French society. A gentleman with a cane and top hat interrupts a lady at her toilette, exclaiming "Hello, how nice to see you!" while secretly thinking "You beast!" The scene is filled with wit and social commentary, showcasing the delicate balance between politeness and harsh truth in the bourgeoisie world of Paris.
The dandy gentleman's interruption of the lady's beauty routine adds an element of comedy to the image, as he casually leans on his walking stick with a mischievous smile. The lady, caught off guard by his unexpected visit, gazes back at him through her mirror with a mix of surprise and amusement.
The intricate details in this print, from the elaborate fashion of both characters to the ornate furnishings in the room, transport us back to a time when etiquette reigned supreme. The contrast between what is said out loud and what is truly thought reflects the complexities of human interaction and societal expectations.
Overall, this delightful illustration by Jean Gabriel Scheffer captures a small yet significant moment in 19th century Parisian life with humor and insight.
