EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "The Small Toilette" we are transported back to the elegant interiors of 18th-century France. The morning light softly filters through the window, casting a gentle glow on the scene unfolding before us. A distinguished gentleman stands in his dressing room, clad in a luxurious dressing gown. He is attended by his loyal servant, who meticulously tends to his hair with great skill and precision. A small dog rests at their feet, observing the proceedings with curiosity. The artist Moreau has captured not only the physical act of hairdressing but also the intimate bond between master and servant. The attention to detail in depicting every strand of hair being carefully styled reflects both the importance placed on personal grooming during this time period and the artistry involved in such tasks. This print from Paul Lacroix's book transports us to a different era, allowing us to glimpse into an everyday moment that would have been commonplace for French aristocracy. It serves as a reminder of how fashion and beauty rituals have evolved over time while highlighting timeless themes of companionship and dedication. "The Small Toilette" is not just an illustration; it is a snapshot frozen in time that invites us to imagine ourselves within its historical context.
