EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The broken comb" by Maurice Leloir takes us back to the 18th century, depicting a young boy in the midst of an emotional outburst. The image is an illustration for Jean-Jacques Rousseau's autobiography, "Les Confessions" providing a glimpse into his childhood and family dynamics. In this scene, we witness the child's anger as he holds up a broken comb. His face reflects bitterness and rage, capturing the intensity of his emotions. The engraving skillfully portrays the boy's inner turmoil caused by this seemingly insignificant incident. Rousseau was a renowned French philosopher whose autobiographical works shed light on various aspects of life during that era. This particular episode explores themes such as father-son relationships, family dynamics, and even touches upon the concept of seven deadly sins. Through this powerful gravure print, Leloir successfully conveys not only the child's anger but also invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences with intense emotions during their formative years. It serves as a reminder that children too can experience complex feelings beyond what may be expected from them. "The broken comb" offers us a window into both Rousseau's personal journey and universal human experiences. It stands as a testament to Leloir's artistic talent in capturing raw emotion through intricate engravings.
