The Corner of the Balcony, c. 1877
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Alfred Stevens captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the intricate architectural details of a 19th-century balcony. The Belgian artist masterfully depicts a woman standing on the balcony, fanning herself with an elegant hand-held fan. The delicate gouache painting on ivory wove paper laid down on white Japanese paper brings to life the Victorian era with its attention to detail and subtle use of color.
Stevens' work is not just a simple portrait but rather a metaphor for desire and sophistication. The woman's posture and gaze suggest a sense of contemplation and elegance, while the ornate design of the balcony adds to the overall grandeur of the scene.
This print from Heritage Images allows viewers to transport themselves back in time to experience the beauty and charm of 19th-century Belgium through Alfred Stevens' eyes. It serves as a reminder of how art can capture moments in history and evoke emotions that transcend time.
"The Corner of the Balcony" is not just a piece of art; it is a window into another world where women stood on balconies fanning themselves, lost in their thoughts amidst stunning architectural features. Alfred Stevens' legacy lives on through this image that continues to inspire viewers today.
