EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Pickpocket" takes us back to the late 19th or early 20th century, showcasing a scene of intrigue and mischief. The French School artwork, now part of a private collection, depicts a young boy in an elaborate costume browsing through books at a bookstall. Unbeknownst to the unsuspecting victim beside him, this child is no ordinary browser - he is a pickpocket. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this criminal act with intricate details and vibrant colors. The boy's mischievous expression hints at his intentions as he carefully selects his target's pocket for robbery. Meanwhile, oblivious to the impending crime, other children enjoy their visit to Chocolat Express Grondard - a sweet shop filled with tantalizing chocolates and candies. This image serves as both an educational tool and an artistic masterpiece. It sheds light on the realities of crime during that era while also capturing the innocence of childhood exploration. The juxtaposition between these two themes creates a thought-provoking narrative that leaves viewers captivated by its storytelling power. As we gaze upon this historical gem from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of how art can transport us through time and evoke emotions within us. It invites contemplation on societal issues such as theft and highlights the importance of vigilance in our daily lives.
