EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Gentleman flattering an older woman in front of a fireplace in a parlour," is a charming depiction of a scene straight out of the 19th century. The image, created by the Gihaut brothers after an illustration by Jean Gabriel Scheffer for their series "Petites Scenes du Monde, Ce qu on dit et ce qu on pense," transports us back in time to an era of elegance and refinement. The gentleman, impeccably dressed in fashionable attire, bends low before an older woman seated in a plush armchair, his hand gently brushing her hand as he compliments her beauty. The woman, with an enchanting smile, gazes at him with a look of amusement and delight. The warm glow of the fireplace casts a romantic light over the scene, adding to the cozy and intimate atmosphere. The intricately detailed handcoloured lithograph showcases the skill and artistry of the Gihaut brothers and Jean Gabriel Scheffer. The interior of the parlour is adorned with ornate furnishings, delicate fabrics, and elegant accessories, reflecting the opulence and sophistication of the time. This image is not only a visual feast for the eyes but also a reminder of the power of flattery and the enduring allure of beauty, no matter what age. The comedy and wordplay in the title add an extra layer of depth and meaning to the scene, making it a truly captivating work of art from the 19th century.
