"Assis: A Captivating Collection of Seated Moments in History" Step into a world where stillness meets significance, as we explore the art of sitting. From engineers to artists, musicians to royalty, these captivating individuals have left their mark while comfortably seated. In Picture No. 12480150, we witness the portrait of a Passy well drill engineer, surveying his surroundings with determination and expertise. The industry soldiers stand tall beside him, showcasing unity and strength. A marble sculpture captures the essence of Voltaire (1694-1778), depicted in black and white photography. His seated pose exudes wisdom and contemplation, reminding us of his influential contributions to literature and philosophy. Laughter echoes through time as an illustration from 1890 portrays a man holding his belly while bursting into laughter. This timeless image reminds us that joy knows no boundaries or eras. Bio-Sophia Loren graces our collection with her elegance and beauty. Her poised posture reflects her iconic status as one of Hollywood's most celebrated actresses. Music legend John Lennon strikes a pose alongside Yoko Ono at Cannes in 1971. Their seated stance symbolizes their artistic partnership and activism for peace during turbulent times. Duke Edward of Windsor and Duchess Wallis watch the transmission of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation from their seats - witnessing history unfold before their eyes. Maurice Appert captivates us with his conte crayon drawing titled "Seated. " The intricate details bring this figure to life on paper, leaving us curious about the story behind this mysterious subject. Another sculpture immortalizes Voltaire (1694-1778), this time carved from stone in black and white photography. His seated presence continues to inspire generations with his intellectual legacy. An artist's study showcases a cat sitting on a chair; its gaze filled with curiosity and grace captured perfectly on canvas – an ode to feline poise amidst the chaos of life.
