EDITORS COMMENTS
In the present moment, a modern style lady gracefully sits on an ornate golden settee, her posture exuding elegance and refinement. She wears a slender, pink dress that flows gently around her, the color complementing her fair complexion. In her hands, she holds a red book, the pages turning as she becomes engrossed in its contents. To her side, a decorative green side table adds a pop of color to the scene, its intricate design a testament to the craftsmanship of the era. This portrait illustration, titled "The Modern Style Lady," is a beautiful example of the work of Lucien Marie François Métivet, a renowned French caricaturist. The illustration was published in the September issue of Les Maîtres de la Caricature, a prestigious album of satirical art, circa 1901. The young lady's timeless beauty and the intricate details of her surroundings transport us back to an era of grace and sophistication. Métivet's skillful use of color and line creates a vivid and engaging image that invites the viewer to imagine the story behind the scene. The lady's introspective expression and the allure of the open book suggest a world of knowledge and discovery waiting to be explored. This enchanting portrait is a treasure from the past, a reminder of the enduring power of art to captivate and inspire.
