EDITORS COMMENTS
Esquisse pour la mairie du 15e arrondissement: La femme doit suivre son époux, orchestrated by French artist Franois Alfred Delobbe between 1883 and 1884, captures a poignant moment in the journey of marriage. The painting, rendered in rich oil colors on canvas, portrays a scene of a woman bidding farewell to her family and children as she follows her husband out of their home, likely to their new residence as part of the marital duties of the time. The patriarchal nature of the era is evident in the husband's assertive posture and the wife's submissive demeanor, as she turns to take one last look at her motherly role behind her. The interior of the room, filled with the warmth of a bygone era, serves as a backdrop to this emotional departure. The painting, now a cherished piece of heritage art, hangs in the Petit Palais museum in Paris, inviting viewers to reflect on the concept of marriage, gender roles, and the passage of time.
