EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the essence of a Bouquetiere, or flower seller, in early 19th century Paris. Dressed in a vibrant red dress with a crisp white apron and bonnet, she exudes elegance and grace as she carries a basket overflowing with beautiful blooms.
The intricate details of her attire, from the delicate lace on her apron to the ribbons adorning her bonnet, speak to the craftsmanship and artistry of the time. The artist has expertly captured not just the physical appearance of this tradeswoman, but also her spirit and character.
As she navigates the bustling streets of Paris, this Bouquetiere embodies both strength and femininity. Her role as a merchant is evident in her confident stance and purposeful stride. Yet there is also a softness to her expression that hints at a deeper connection to nature and beauty.
This image serves as a window into history, offering us a glimpse into everyday life in 19th century Paris. It reminds us of the importance of small joys like flowers in brightening our days and connecting us to something greater than ourselves.
In this print by Gatine after an illustration by Louis-Marie Lante from ""Ouvrieres de Paris," we are invited to appreciate not just the visual beauty of the scene, but also its cultural significance and historical context.
