EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 19th century with this charming handcoloured lithograph depicting two ladies dressing before a mirror in a parlor. The scene captures a moment of candid conversation between the two women as they prepare for their day.
One woman compliments the other, saying "The pink really suits you dear." However, unbeknownst to her companion, the second woman is thinking quite differently. She believes that the pink actually makes her friend look ten years older.
This playful exchange highlights the timeless nature of female friendships and the complexities of human interaction. The subtle contrast between spoken words and inner thoughts adds depth to the scene, inviting viewers to consider what lies beneath surface-level conversations.
Created by Swiss artist Jean Gabriel Scheffer and brought to life by the Gihaut brothers in this handcoloured lithograph, this piece is part of a series titled "Petites Scenes du Monde" (Little Scenes of the World). It offers a glimpse into everyday life during this historical period, capturing not only fashion trends but also social dynamics and interpersonal relationships.
Transport yourself back in time with this delightful print and imagine yourself as one of these two ladies sharing secrets and laughter in an elegant parlor setting.
