EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century print, titled "Ladies Sharing Wine," captures the essence of elegance and refinement during the early modern period in Asia. The image, of unknown origin but believed to be from Andhra Pradesh, India, or possibly Hindustan (modern-day Hyderabad), showcases two young women in a serene setting, engaged in the act of sharing a bottle of wine. Decorated in rich gold and green hues, the intricate border of the print adds an air of opulence and grandeur to the scene. The women, dressed in vibrant, flowing garments, are depicted in profile, standing next to each other, their faces expressing a sense of joy and camaraderie as they partake in the pleasures of the drink. The artwork, created using ink opaque watercolor and gold on paper, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of South East Asia during the 18th century. The use of gold and green color adds a regal touch to the piece, while the delicate brushwork and attention to detail demonstrate the skill and mastery of the unknown artist. This print, now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the simple act of sharing a drink between friends was a cherished moment of connection and pleasure. The image serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to capture and preserve the human experience, even as the sands of time continue to shift.
