EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century print, titled "Lolotte and Werther" by American artist Eunice Pinney, transports us back in time to an intimate indoor scene. The image, dated 1810, depicts two young characters, a girl named Lolotte and a boy named Werther, seated in a cozy room adorned with period furniture. The girl, with her rosy cheeks and cherubic features, is engrossed in reading a book, while Werther, with a thoughtful expression, plays a pianola, a precursor to the modern piano. The characters are inspired by the famous literary work "The Sorrows of Young Werther" by Johann Christian Friedrich Hölderlin, published in 1774, and later popularized by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's adaptation in 1774. The title "Lolotte" is believed to be a reference to the character Charlotte in Goethe's version. The print, with its intricate lettering and detailed illustration, is a testament to the artistic skill and cultural heritage of the time. The color palette, dominated by warm hues, adds to the inviting and nostalgic atmosphere of the scene. The picture on the wall in the background further adds to the depth and context of the artwork. This print is a must-see for art enthusiasts, literature lovers, and anyone interested in the history and culture of the 19th century. It is currently on exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and is a reminder of the rich artistic legacy that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
