EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "For a moment they stood looking at each other" captures the powerful contrast between two individuals from vastly different worlds. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness the meeting of a barefoot beggar girl, adorned in tattered rags, and a majestic King wearing his resplendent jeweled crown. The image portrays the timeless tale of King Cophetua and the Beggar Maid, beautifully depicted through Michael Arthur C. 's skillful color lithography. The legendary King, known for his indifference towards women, finds himself captivated by this humble beggar maid whom he falls deeply in love with and eventually marries. As onlookers surround them, their gazes locked in an intense moment of connection, we are reminded of the power that transcends social status and wealth. This fairy tale narrative explores themes of poverty and wealth as well as challenging societal norms. Through this children's illustration found within The Stapleton Collection, viewers are transported into a world where true love knows no boundaries. It serves as a reminder that compassion can bridge even the widest gaps between people from different walks of life. The image invites us to reflect upon our own preconceived notions about others based on appearances or social standing. Ultimately reminding us that it is our shared humanity that truly matters above all else.
