The Coquettish Widow, 1747
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the elegant world of 18th century France. Created by Simon Nicolas Duflos, this exquisite etching and engraving showcases the beauty and allure of a coquettish widow. Intriguingly, the image captures a woman at her dressing table, surrounded by opulent furniture and adorned with exquisite jewelry. Her face exudes confidence and independence as she gazes into a mirror, symbolizing her freedom from societal expectations after becoming a widow. The concept of coquetry is beautifully portrayed in this artwork - the flirtatiousness and charm emanating from the woman's body language suggest her desire to captivate others. The choice of a choker necklace with an intricate locket adds an air of mystery to her character. Through this piece, Duflos invites us into a moment frozen in time - we can almost hear whispers about love affairs and secret rendezvous taking place within these walls. It serves as a reminder that even in an era when marriage was often seen as confining for women, there were those who embraced their newfound independence with grace and elegance. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, "The Coquettish Widow" continues to fascinate viewers with its portrayal of female empowerment amidst societal constraints. This print not only celebrates the beauty of women but also highlights their resilience throughout history.
