EDITORS COMMENTS

This intriguing work of art, created in the mid-1800s, depicts a humorous interaction between two gentlemen in rural France. The scene takes place in a rustic setting, with both men dressed in the fashionable attire of the time. The first man, wearing a hat and holding a shotgun, approaches the second man, who is seated and holding a dog leash. With a serious expression, the first man requests, "Monsieur, given the complete absence of game, I ask your kind permission to shoot your dog." The second man, taken aback by the proposal, responds with a surprised and amused gesture, "Sir, I was about to make you the same proposition." The men exchange a look of mutual understanding and amusement, as if to acknowledge the absurdity of their situation. This satirical work of art, titled "Monsieur, vu l'absence complète..."

The black and white lithograph, with its intricate details and nuanced expressions, invites viewers to appreciate the subtle complexities of human interaction and the absurdities of everyday life.

It is a reminder of the rich heritage of artistic expression and the enduring appeal of humor in art. Whether displayed in a gallery or art center, "Monsieur, vu l'absence complète..." is sure to provoke thought and delight viewers with its timeless charm.
