EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching takes us back to the early 20th century, capturing a private moment of a woman at her toilet. The illustration is an exquisite piece created by Edgar Chahine for Mitsou, a work by Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette. Published in 1930, this artwork beautifully combines etching and drypoint techniques. In this intimate scene, we see a nude woman standing in her bedroom, surrounded by elegant furniture from the era. With a gentle smile on her face, she stands before her vanity mirror as she combs and ties up her hair. The artist skillfully portrays the vulnerability and beauty of this everyday act. The simplicity of the composition draws attention to the woman's graceful figure and delicate features. Her nudity exudes confidence rather than vulnerability, showcasing a celebration of femininity in its purest form. Chahine's mastery lies not only in his ability to capture physical details but also in evoking emotions through his engravings. This particular print transports us into an era where beauty rituals were cherished moments of self-care and reflection. Displayed within a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless allure. It serves as a reminder that even mundane activities can be transformed into art when viewed through the lens of talent and creativity.
