EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting painting, titled "Letourdie" and believed to date back to the late 1800s, captures a delightful moment in the lives of three young girls. Dressed in white gowns and adorned with bonnets tied with black ribbons, they embody the innocence and charm of childhood. The tallest girl in the foreground gracefully carries a full basket of roses, her expression radiant with joy and pride. In stark contrast, the girl on the far right has spilled the contents of her own basket all over the floor, her face reflecting a momentary sense of disappointment. The rich colors and intricate details of the painting transport us back in time, inviting us to imagine the story behind this scene. Originally published in a December 1918 issue of a popular magazine, this artwork is a beautiful example of the delicate and expressive style of French painter Louis Adolphe Tessier (not to be confused with the company of the same name). Tessier was known for his vivid use of color and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life, making this painting a true treasure for art lovers and historians alike.
