EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming 19th-century lithograph, we see a bookish woman engaging in conversation with an author in a cozy library setting. She compliments the author on their latest novel, describing it as "delicious" and possessing an "indescribable charm." However, her inner thoughts reveal that she has only read a few pages of the book.
The scene captures the essence of social interactions where flattery and insincerity often play a role. The woman's words are polite and complimentary, reflecting the societal norms of the time. Meanwhile, her true feelings are hidden beneath a facade of politeness.
The hand-colored lithograph by the Gihaut brothers beautifully illustrates this small moment from everyday life, showcasing not just what is said but also what is truly felt. The intricate details in the artwork bring to life the elegance and sophistication of French society during this period.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness a subtle exchange between two individuals within the confines of a literary haven. It serves as a reminder that appearances can be deceiving and that sometimes what is left unsaid speaks volumes.
