EDITORS COMMENTS
This collection of lithographs by Vivant Denon, created in 1817, offers a glimpse into the daily life and social norms of the 19th century. The first image, titled "Conversation, a Family Drawing and Reading," depicts a large, happy family gathered around a table, engaging in various activities. The father reads a book, while the mother and children draw and converse. A nursemaid holds an infant, and a dog sits at their feet, adding to the warm and inviting scene. In the second lithograph, "The Nurse Holding an Infant," we see a tender moment between a nursemaid and her young charge. The nurse cradles the baby in her arms, gazing down at him with a loving expression. Her simple, yet elegant hairstyle, consisting of ringlets, is a common style for women of the time. The third image, "Portrait of Priest Edmond de Beauvau Behind a Chair," features a portrait of a priest, dressed in his robes, sitting behind a chair. His serious expression and the dimly lit room create an air of mystery and intrigue. The final two lithographs in the series are portraits of two women, Madame Lavallee and Madame Vallory. Both women are depicted seated, with Madame Lavallee wearing a simple, high-necked dress and Madame Vallory wearing a more ornate, low-cut gown. Their hairstyles, consisting of ringlets and intricate braids, are a testament to the fashion of the time. These lithographs, created by Baron Vivant Denon, offer a fascinating look into the lives of the French aristocracy and the everyday people of the 19th century. The use of lithography, a popular printing technique of the time, allows for intricate detail and depth, making these images a valuable addition to any art collection.
