EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Auguste Raffet, titled "The Dessert: My eldest is full of spirit!...he is very advanced for his age...I intend to make a lawyer of him. 1837," captures a lively family scene during mealtime in 19th century France. The image depicts a group gathered around the dinner table, with a young boy at the center of attention. The boy, described as being full of spirit and advanced for his age, exudes confidence and intelligence as he engages in conversation with his family members. His parents seem proud of him, with the father expressing his intentions to groom him into becoming a lawyer one day. Raffet's attention to detail and skillful use of lithography bring this historical moment to life, showcasing the dynamics within this French household. The intricate lettering adds an extra layer of authenticity to the scene, making it feel like we are peeking into a real family gathering from over a century ago. This print serves as both a snapshot of domestic life in 1837 and a testament to Raffet's talent as an artist capturing human emotion and interaction. It is truly a piece that transports us back in time and allows us to appreciate the heritage artistry preserved within its lines.
