EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting 19th-century handcoloured lithograph, a gentleman and a lady engage in a playful exchange of words amidst the blooming splendor of a garden. The scene, titled "Scandalous! You hardly know me!" and "My feelings are running ahead of me!", is an exquisite illustration from the collection "Petites Scenes du Monde, Ce qu on dit et ce qu on pense" by the renowned Gihaut brothers. The illustration is based on an original work by Swiss artist Jean Gabriel Scheffer. The gentleman, impeccably dressed in the fashion of the time, extends a bouquet of flowers to the lady, who playfully feigns surprise and indignation. Her gaze is filled with a mixture of amusement and anticipation, as she delicately covers her cheeks with her hand. The garden, bursting with vibrant colors and lush foliage, serves as the perfect backdrop for this whimsical moment of flirtation and romance. The intricate details of the handcoloured lithograph, with its rich hues and delicate shading, bring the scene to life, transporting us back to a time when social interactions were filled with comedy and wordplay. The image captures the essence of the 19th century, with its dandies, fashionable interior scenes, and the beauty and allure of nature. Overall, this print is a testament to the enduring power of art to evoke emotion and transport us to another time and place.
