EDITORS COMMENTS
In this handcoloured lithograph by the Gihaut brothers, we are transported back to the 19th century and into the study of an esteemed advisor. The young gentleman, impeccably dressed in the fashion of the time, sits attentively before a large desk, engrossed in the contents of a letter. His expression reveals a mix of anticipation and apprehension, as if bracing himself for news that could potentially impact his social standing. Surrounded by the trappings of his office, the gentleman's study is a testament to the sophistication and elegance of the era. The room is adorned with ornate bookcases filled with leather-bound volumes, their spines bearing the weight of knowledge and wisdom. A fire crackles merrily in the hearth, casting a warm, inviting glow over the scene. The advisor's attire, with its crisp shirt, waistcoat, and tailored trousers, speaks to his status and wealth. His cravat is expertly tied, and his shoes are polished to a high shine. The delicate folds of his jacket and the intricate patterns on his waistcoat are a testament to the artistry of the time. The Swiss artist Jean Gabriel Scheffer masterfully captured this moment of quiet contemplation, imbuing the scene with a sense of comedy and subtle commentary on the social norms of the time. The gentleman's thought bubble, which reads "Another free dinner!", adds a touch of levity to the otherwise serious scene. This beautiful lithograph, published by Gihaut Freres in Paris in 1829, offers a glimpse into the life of a dandy advisor in the 19th century, a time of beauty, fashion, and social intrigue. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring the scene to life, making it a must-have for any collection of historical art or interior decor.
