The Sense of Touch
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Edme Bouchardon is a captivating red chalk drawing that transports us back to the early 18th century. In this exquisite piece, we witness a young woman standing outdoors, surrounded by elements that evoke a sense of exploration and discovery. The artist skillfully captures the essence of touch through the woman's posture and her interaction with various objects. She delicately holds a tortoise in one hand, symbolizing patience and connection with nature. With her other hand, she gently caresses an intricately detailed globe, representing curiosity and the desire for knowledge. Bouchardon's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition. The woman's flowing attire drapes elegantly around her figure, emphasizing her gracefulness. A bird perched on her shoulder adds an element of whimsy to the scene. This masterful artwork not only celebrates the sense of touch but also invites contemplation about our place in the world and our relationship with both living creatures and geographical exploration. It serves as a reminder that touch can be both intimate and exploratory—a means to connect with others as well as understand our surroundings. "The Sense of Touch" is truly a testament to Bouchardon's talent as an old master artist. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today, offering them an opportunity to reflect on their own sensory experiences and appreciate artistry from centuries past.
