EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment of Romantic Intrigue: A Lady's Graceful Acceptance of a Rose in an 1829 Parisian Park This exquisite handcoloured lithograph by the renowned Gihaut brothers, after an illustration by Swiss artist Jean Gabriel Scheffer, captures a charming moment of romantic intrigue in the heart of Paris. The scene unfolds in a picturesque park, where a gentleman, dressed in the height of fashionable attire, presents a single rose to a graceful lady, standing beneath the watchful gaze of a grand statue. The lady, with an air of elegance and composure, responds, "It's not a favor, it's only fair." Her words hint at a deeper connection between the two, as her thoughts betray a sense of intrigue and curiosity. The gentleman's expression reveals a mixture of hope and trepidation, as he awaits her response. The Petites Scenes du Monde series, published by Gihaut Freres in Paris in 1829, captured the social and interior life of the time, offering a glimpse into the world of dandies, beauty, and comedy. This particular scene, with its timeless elements of romance and intrigue, continues to captivate and delight viewers over two centuries later. The intricate details of the handcoloured lithograph showcase the masterful artistry of the Gihaut brothers and Jean Gabriel Scheffer, transporting us back to a bygone era of grace, charm, and romantic encounters in the heart of Paris.
