EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Drinking Milk, 18th century - A Playful Rococo Scene Captured by Jean Daullé". This print titled "Drinking Milk" takes us back to the elegant and whimsical world of the 18th century. Created by renowned artist Jean Daullé, this engraving beautifully captures a scene inspired by François Boucher's original work. In this delightful portrayal, two people are depicted in an intimate moment as they enjoy their refreshing milk. A young child eagerly holds a bowl while a mischievous dog playfully nudges it, causing some of the milk to spill onto the ground. The expressions on their faces reveal their sheer delight and thirst for this simple pleasure. Daullé's masterful etching technique brings out intricate details such as the flowing drapery of clothing, delicate facial features, and even the texture of sheep grazing nearby. This artwork perfectly embodies the essence of rococo era with its emphasis on lightness, gracefulness, and joyous themes. As we gaze upon this print from Heritage Images at The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, we are transported to a time when life was filled with elegance and innocence. It serves as a reminder that even in centuries past, people found solace in small pleasures like drinking milk together – an act that transcends time and connects us all through our shared humanity.
