EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming handcoloured engraving from 1817, we see Miss Pastel, a young beauty art student, confidently carrying her brushes, palette and canvas as she embarks on her artistic journey. Behind her follows her mother, dressed in a bonnet, shawl and gloves, burdened with the weight of a heavy easel and stool.
The contrast between the two figures is striking - the daughter exudes creativity and passion for art, while the mother embodies traditional values and sacrifices to support her child's dreams. The caption accompanying the image highlights a common dilemma faced by middle-class parents: whether to encourage their children to pursue practical careers or nurture their artistic talents.
As Miss Pastel strides forward with determination, supported by her devoted mother trailing behind with unwavering love and dedication, we are reminded of the complex dynamics within families striving for success and fulfillment. The scene captures not only a moment in time but also speaks to timeless themes of ambition, sacrifice and parental guidance.
This print serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between pursuing one's passions and meeting societal expectations - a theme that resonates across generations. It celebrates both the individual pursuit of artistic expression and the enduring bond between parent and child.
