EDITORS COMMENTS
In this handcoloured lithograph by the Gihaut brothers, two elegant gentlemen engage in a deep conversation in front of the bustling stock market. The men, dressed in fashionable attire of the 19th century, exude an air of sophistication and refinement. One gentleman, with a thoughtful expression, turns to his companion, exclaiming, "God, you mock everything, have you no conscience?" The other gentleman listens intently, his face betraying a hint of concern. The vibrant colours and intricate details of the lithograph transport us back in time to the bustling streets of Paris during the early 1800s. The stock market, with its tall columns and ornate facade, serves as the backdrop to this intriguing social scene. A handsome cab, adorned with intricate designs, adds to the sense of grandeur and opulence. Jean Gabriel Scheffer, the Swiss artist who originally illustrated this scene, masterfully captures the beauty and comedy of everyday life. The composition of the image is excellent, with the gentlemen framed perfectly between the columns of the market and the cab adding depth and perspective. This image is a testament to the artistic talent of the Gihaut brothers and the social commentary of Jean Gabriel Scheffer. It offers a glimpse into the world of the dandy and the fashionable elite, as well as the complexities of human emotion and thought. The lithograph is a stunning addition to any collection of historical art or social commentary.
