Je vous assure que vous serez très bien assise
EDITORS COMMENTS
(I assure you that you will be very well seated), is an enchanting and thought-provoking artwork created by the renowned French artist, Honore Daumier, in 1871. This monochrome print, featuring an allegorical figure, is a testament to Daumier's artistic brilliance and his profound understanding of human nature. The image depicts an elderly woman, seated confidently on a chair, with a serene expression on her face. She is dressed in traditional French attire, and her posture exudes a sense of comfort and security. The chair, an ornate piece of furniture, is adorned with intricate carvings, symbolizing the rich cultural heritage of France. The background is simple, with a monarch depicted on the wall, symbolizing the monarchy that once ruled the country. The title of the artwork, "Je vous assure que vous serez très bien assise," adds an element of reassurance and comfort to the image. The use of the gillotype on newsprint technique gives the artwork a historic and antique feel, transporting us back to the 19th century. This allegorical figure represents the idea of trust and faith in the future, despite the uncertainties and challenges that life may bring. The elderly woman's confident and calm demeanor serves as a reminder that with age comes wisdom and experience, making it easier to face the future with assurance. Daumier's masterful use of lettering and illustration in this artwork adds to its charm and makes it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly the artistic schools of the 19th century. This print is a treasure in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and a reminder of the enduring power of art to inspire and provoke thought.
