Sweet Summer Time - drawn by Gavarni, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Sweet Summer Time - drawn by Gavarni, 1850. Illustration to a story by Thomas Miller:.beautiful as the landscape is, it lacks a charm unless woman is there to adorn it; it seems like the Garden of Eden without Eve, if she, the "fairest flower, " is absent. Whether she breaks the green of the scenery in a dress of spotless white...or wears a provoking little bonnet...as our Artist has here pictured her, she seems in keeping with the scenery...A richly-illustrated book of flowers never seems in its right place so much as when in a fair lady's hand; then it is flower gazing on flower, for "roses reigning in the pride of June" appear not more lovely than a sweet womanly face...what repose there is in the two exquisite figures...the flowers...are not more wrapt up in the contemplation of their own shadows in the water beneath, than they are in admiration of the work of art which has stolen the look of Nature'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

Sweet Summer Time,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating drawing by the renowned French artist, Gavarni, created in 1850, transports us to an idyllic summer scene. The image is an illustration to a story penned by Thomas Miller, published in the Illustrated London News. The caption beneath the drawing eloquently expresses the essence of the artwork and the poetic connection between nature and woman. The landscape, as beautiful as it may be, is incomplete without the presence of a woman. She is the missing piece that brings charm and life to the scene, much like Eve in the Garden of Eden. In this drawing, the woman is depicted in a simple yet elegant dress, blending seamlessly with the natural beauty around her. Her presence adds an allure that makes the scenery come alive. The artist's masterful brushstrokes bring to life a richly-illustrated book of flowers, which seems in its right place only when in the hand of a fair lady. The flowers, as magnificent as they are in the pride of June, appear no more lovely than a sweet, womanly face. The tranquility and repose in the two exquisite figures are reminiscent of the flowers, which are lost in the contemplation of their own reflections in the water beneath. The woman and the flowers share a mutual admiration, with the woman gazing at the artwork that has captured the essence of nature. Gavarni's "Sweet Summer Time" is a testament to the timeless connection between nature and woman, a bond that transcends the boundaries of art and inspires awe and wonder. The drawing invites us to pause and appreciate the beauty of the moment, the beauty of nature, and the beauty of a woman, all coming together in perfect harmony.
