EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the essence of Mexican culture with its depiction of a man and woman adorned in traditional national costumes, attending a masquerade ball. The man, dressed as a matador, wears a bold, red suit adorned with gold accents and a wide-brimmed hat, while the woman, dressed as a Zingara gypsy girl, dons a vibrant, flamenco-inspired dress with intricate embroidery and a flowing shawl. Both figures hold castanets in their hands, ready to dance the night away. The image, published by Hautecoeur Freres in Paris during the 1880s, was created by the talented hand of Alexandre Lacauchie. The lithograph has an operatic or theatrical feel, with its elaborate costumes and dramatic setting. The man and woman appear to be actors or singers, taking a break from their performances to enjoy the festivities of the masquerade ball. The use of handcolouring adds an extra layer of sophistication and detail to the print, making it a true work of art. The man and woman's expressive faces and animated poses suggest a sense of joy and merriment, making this a fitting image for any fancy dress or masquerade party. This beautiful print is a testament to the enduring allure of Mexican culture and the magic of the masquerade ball, transporting us to a world of fantasy and wonder.
