Mimi, Marie's sheep, eats mimosa
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a charming print that captures a delightful moment from the early 1920s. In this image by the French School, we see Mimi, a beloved sheep belonging to Marie, indulging in some tasty mimosa leaves. The print measures 30.5x24 cm and is part of a private collection. This enchanting scene was originally featured in "The alphabet of my boyfriends" published by Librairie Hachette in Paris around 1920. Illustrated by S. Decam, this alphabet primer showcased various characters engaging in everyday activities while representing different letters of the alphabet. Mimi's innocent joy as she nibbles on the vibrant green foliage brings to mind idyllic childhood memories spent amidst nature and farm animals. The presence of the shepherdess suggests that Mimi is well-cared for within her flock. The print not only serves as an artistic representation but also offers insight into children's literature during that era. It reminds us of the timeless appeal of stories featuring animals and their adventures, capturing young hearts across generations. With its historical significance and artistic merit, this work exemplifies early twentieth-century artistry with its delicate lines and attention to detail. As we admire Mimi savoring her treat against a backdrop of rolling hills and blue skies, we are transported back to a simpler time when life revolved around simple pleasures like enjoying nature's bounty. Jean Duvallon's skillful capture immortalizes this endearing moment between Mimi and her meal—a testament to his talent as an artist who beautifully depicted scenes from everyday life in France during the twenties.
