EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Day" takes us back to the 18th century in France. The artist, Eisen, beautifully captures a morning scene inside an elegant dressing room. A young female servant is seen attending to her mistress's hair while a small dog curiously observes from the floor. The room is adorned with exquisite furniture, including a grand dressing table with a mirror reflecting the scene. In this intimate setting, we witness an intriguing interaction between the maid and a well-dressed suitor who has entered the room. Their eyes meet as they share a secret moment of affectionate kissing. This glimpse into their forbidden romance hints at social class boundaries that were prevalent during this time. The attention to detail in this engraving by Paul Lacroix transports us to another era, where occupations were clearly defined and love knew no bounds. It showcases not only the fashion and hairstyles of that period but also provides insight into daily life within upper-class French society. "The Day" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation of 18th-century France. Its monochrome aesthetic adds depth and intrigue to every element captured within its frame - from the expressions on people's faces to the carefully arranged furniture in this enchanting location. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate Eisen's talent for capturing human emotions through his artistry while providing valuable insights into French culture during that time period.
