EDITORS COMMENTS
Sept heures, 1839" is a lithographic print by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, depicting a humorous scene from his series "La Journee du Celibataire" published in the satirical magazine "Le Charivari" on September 4, 1839. In this image, titled "Monsieur Coquelet returns home...", Daumier masterfully captures the moment of disappointment and resignation experienced by the bachelor character, Mr. Coquelet, as he encounters an unwelcome visitor upon entering his home. The print shows Mr. Coquelet, dressed in a top hat and a long coat, stopping in his tracks as he enters his front door. His expression is one of dismay as he is confronted by a neighbor, a pleasant 45-year-old widow, who stands in the doorway with a dog at her side. The woman, dressed in an elegant gown and holding a parasol, winks suggestively at the unsuspecting bachelor. The presence of the dog adds to the comedic element of the scene, as it seems to be the source of the woman's affectionate attention. The black and white lithograph, with its intricate detail and masterful use of contrast, showcases Daumier's exceptional skill as a printmaker. The image is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the nuances of human emotion and the absurdities of everyday life. The print is a valuable addition to the heritage of 19th-century art and a testament to Daumier's enduring influence on the world of satire and visual humor. This print is a rare and fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and social norms of the time. The humor and wit of the scene continue to resonate with audiences today, making it a beloved and enduring work of art.
