EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing handcoloured lithograph from 1829, we are transported to a hotel room where a gentleman and an old lady are being watched by a porter. The gentleman confidently declares, "You can count on me to use all my credit," while his thoughts reveal his true feelings towards the situation. He dismisses the old lady as "old, ugly, and soliciting" him.
The scene is rich in detail and humor, capturing the complexities of social interactions and human nature. The Gihaut brothers' illustration brings to life the contrast between appearance and reality, showcasing how words can often mask our innermost thoughts.
As we delve into this small scene of the world depicted by Swiss artist Jean Gabriel Scheffer, we are reminded of the intricacies of language and perception. The setting in Paris adds an air of sophistication to the comedic moment unfolding before us.
This artwork serves as a timeless commentary on societal norms and individual motivations. It invites us to reflect on our own perceptions and biases when faced with similar situations. The juxtaposition of beauty and ugliness, wealth and deception creates a captivating narrative that continues to resonate with viewers centuries later.
