EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the elegant and sophisticated world of 19th-century Paris with this charming hand-colored lithograph. Capturing a scene of leisure and social interaction, we see gentlemen and a lady engaged in a game of cards in a luxurious parlour, while others dance merrily in the next room.
The gentleman graciously congratulates the lady on her lucky hand, but his inner thoughts reveal a touch of envy as he silently curses his own misfortune. The tension between politeness and rivalry is palpable in this moment frozen in time.
Created by the talented Gihaut brothers after an illustration by Swiss artist Jean Gabriel Scheffer, this print is part of the series "Petites Scenes du Monde," which humorously depicts what people say versus what they truly think. It offers a glimpse into the intricacies of social interactions and human nature during that era.
With its attention to detail, from the fashionable attire to the opulent surroundings, this artwork transports us to a bygone era filled with wit, charm, and subtle drama. A delightful addition to any art collection for those who appreciate history, culture, and timeless elegance.
