EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Midday. A Lady Setting Her Watch" captures the essence of a bygone era. Created by G E Petit, this image is an homage to the renowned French artist François Boucher. In this enchanting scene, we see a woman dressed in exquisite Rococo attire, standing outdoors in the countryside. She delicately adjusts her watch while sheltered under a parasol, as if marking time on a leisurely midday stroll. The attention to detail in her clothing and accessories transports us back to 18th-century France. The beauty spot adorning her face adds an alluring touch to her elegant appearance. Gilles Edme Petit's masterful engraving technique brings depth and texture to this etching, capturing every nuance of light and shadow. The use of Western script within the artwork adds another layer of artistic expression. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this portrait invites viewers into a world where time seems suspended. As we gaze upon this lady lost in thought, looking away from us with an air of mystery, we are transported back to an era defined by grace and refinement. This print serves as both a visual delight and a historical artifact—a testament to the enduring allure of art that transcends time.
