EDITORS COMMENTS
Not More than Six Bowls" is an intriguing and whimsical illustration created by Danial Nikolaus Chodowiecki in 1781. The print, which is now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), depicts a humorous scene of a man in eighteenth-century American apparel, wearing a nightgown and nightcap, holding a candle and examining his tooth. The tooth in question appears to be lying on a table next to six bowls, each inscribed with a number. Chodowiecki's illustration is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the 18th century. The man's dressing gown and nightcap are typical of the period, and the use of candlelight adds an atmospheric touch to the scene. The lettering on the bowls suggests that the man may have been keeping track of something, perhaps the number of teeth he has lost. The German artist, Chodowiecki, was known for his wit and satire, and this illustration is no exception. The title "Not More than Six Bowls" adds to the intrigue, leaving the viewer to wonder what the significance of the bowls and the missing tooth might be. This print is a delightful example of the artistic heritage of Europe and the Americas, and a reminder of the rich cultural history that continues to inspire and intrigue us today. The black and white etching is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the imagination and transport us to another time and place. It is a must-see for anyone interested in history, art, or the human condition. At LACMA, visitors can explore this and other treasures from the past, gaining a deeper appreciation for the world we inhabit and the stories that have shaped it.
