EDITORS COMMENTS
L'Indiscret" by Louis Leopold Boilly, created in 1795, is a captivating oil painting that depicts an audacious and untidy scene of three young people in a Parisian apartment. The painting captures the essence of the romantic era with its rich colors and intriguing concept. The image opens with a young man, dressed in a simple shirt, standing at the doorway of a bedroom. He appears to be in the midst of a daring attempt to sneak a peek at two young women, who are lying in bed, semi-dressed and engrossed in a conversation. The woman on the left, dressed in a semi-naked robe, refuses to be disturbed, while the other, clad in a colorful dress, seems to be amused by the young man's audacity. The room is a mess, with disheveled furniture, untidy bedding, and an air of morning freshness. The painting's title, "L'Indiscret," translates to "the indiscreet," and it perfectly encapsulates the playful and flirtatious nature of the scene. The painting is a testament to the romantic era's fascination with the concept of the forbidden and the intrigue that comes with it. The painting is a national heritage item and can be found in the Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, one of the city's renowned museums. Boilly's masterful use of oil paints brings the scene to life, capturing the essence of the 18th century and transporting viewers to a time of romanticism and intrigue.
