EDITORS COMMENTS
Preparing the Macaroni in Trapani, 1778" is a captivating chalk drawing by the Swiss artist Abraham Louis Rodolphe Ducros, taken from his album "Voyage to Italy, Sicily and Malta." This beautiful artwork, created during the 18th century, provides a fascinating glimpse into the domestic life of Sicily, Italy. The drawing depicts a group of women and children gathered around a large wooden table, engaged in the laborious process of preparing macaroni. The women, dressed in traditional Italian attire, are seated and standing, some speaking to one another while others focus intently on their task. Children, both seated and standing, observe the proceedings with curiosity. The scene is set indoors, with the warm glow of sunlight streaming in through a window, casting a soft light over the group. The table is laden with various tools and ingredients, including a large wooden mortar and pestle, a bowl filled with macaroni dough, and a pot bubbling with water. The women work together, rolling out the dough and cutting it into thin strips, which are then dropped into the boiling water. The use of chalk on paper gives the drawing a delicate, pastel-like quality, adding to the romantic and nostalgic feel of the scene. The artist's skillful use of color and shading brings the figures and furniture to life, making it easy to imagine the sounds, smells, and conversations that filled the room as the women prepared their macaroni. This drawing is a valuable piece of heritage art, offering a unique insight into the daily life of Sicily during the 18th century. It is a reminder of the simple pleasures and communal activities that have long been a part of Italian culture, and a testament to the enduring appeal of the romantic era. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam is fortunate to have this artwork in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and richness of Ducros' work and the history it represents.
