EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a humorous scene from the 19th century, showcasing Honore Daumier's satirical illustration titled "Musical sketches: a melomaniac family starting to repeat in the morning the big song they had to sing in the evening at the concert gave to Mr. Coquardeau". Published in "Charivari" on March 3,1852, this artwork provides a glimpse into daily life and musical pursuits of a French family. In this comical depiction, we see members of the family gathered together in their bedroom wearing nightgowns as they prepare for their upcoming performance. The artist skillfully portrays their enthusiasm and dedication towards rehearsing by emphasizing their exaggerated expressions and gestures. A sheet of music partition lies before them while birds chirp outside the window, adding an amusing touch to the scene. Daumier's caricature not only showcases his artistic talent but also serves as social commentary on French society during that time period. Through his work, he mocks both musicians' obsession with perfecting their performances and societal expectations placed upon them. This print by Leonard de Selva offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate Daumier's wit and creativity while providing insight into historical aspects such as music education, familial dynamics, and cultural values prevalent in France during the mid-19th century.
