EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming handcoloured lithograph from the 19th century, we are given a glimpse into the world of a young gentleman seeking advice from his advisor. As he sits in the study, reading a letter with a polite smile on his face, he says "I'm entirely at your disposal." However, unbeknownst to the advisor, the young man is actually thinking "Another free dinner!" The scene captures a moment of humor and social commentary as it highlights the dynamics between those seeking guidance and those providing it. The intricate details in the illustration by Swiss artist Jean Gabriel Scheffer bring to life the setting of Paris in 1829, with its bourgeois interiors and fashionable attire. As we observe this interaction between advisor and advisee, we are reminded of the complexities of human relationships and communication. The juxtaposition between what is said out loud and what is truly thought reflects on societal norms and expectations during that time period. Overall, this print serves as not only a visual delight but also as a reflection on human nature and social interactions. It invites us to ponder on our own words versus thoughts in various situations we encounter in our daily lives.
