EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the mid-18th century transports us back in time to an aristocratic levee, or morning reception, in France. The aristocrat, dressed in the height of fashion, sits before a mirror as his valet meticulously puts the finishing touches to his toilette. The mirror reflects not only the polished image of the aristocrat but also the attentive face of his valet, ensuring every detail is perfect before the day's social engagements begin. In the foreground, a manservant enters the scene, carrying a book for the aristocrat's lady friend. The exchange between the two men is a subtle reminder of the intricate web of relationships and social etiquette that defined the aristocratic world. The elegance and refinement of the scene are further emphasized by the ornate furnishings and sumptuous fabrics that fill the room. The levee was an essential part of aristocratic life, providing an opportunity for the exchange of news, the strengthening of alliances, and the display of wealth and status. This print offers a glimpse into the daily life of the French aristocracy during the 18th century, a time of opulence, luxury, and social hierarchy. The intricate details of the print, from the aristocrat's finely tailored attire to the ornate furnishings in the room, serve as a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of the era. This historical artifact invites us to appreciate the richness and complexity of the past, offering a window into a world that has long since vanished.
