EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming handcoloured lithograph from 1829, we are transported to a parlour where a lady is playfully flattering a foppish gentleman. The scene captures the essence of social life in 19th century France, with its intricate language and subtle humor.
The gentleman, dressed in his dandy attire, appears pleased by the lady's compliments but is also teased with the affectionate term "big booby." The interaction between them is filled with wit and charm, showcasing the playful banter that was common among the bourgeoisie during this time.
The detailed illustration by Jean Gabriel Scheffer, brought to life by the Gihaut brothers' skilled handcolouring technique, perfectly captures the beauty and fashion of the era. From the elegant mantel to the stylish furniture in the background, every element adds to the authenticity of this small scene of Parisian life.
As we gaze upon this delightful print, we can't help but be drawn into their world of comedy and sophistication. It serves as a reminder that even in centuries past, human interactions were filled with humor and intrigue. Lady flattering a foppish gentleman may seem like a simple moment captured on paper, but it speaks volumes about society at that time.
