EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Statues of a boy and goose, girl with dice" transports us back to the year 1810. Created by French painter and engraver Pierre Bouillon, this artwork showcases two distinct scenes from ancient times. On the left side of the print, we see a mischievous boy firmly throttling a goose. His determined expression suggests that he is engaged in some kind of playful mischief or perhaps even testing his strength. On the right side, a young girl can be seen engrossed in playing with knucklebones or dice. Her concentration is evident as she carefully tosses them into the air. These statues are Roman copies of sculptures originally created by Greek sculptor Boethus of Chalcedon during the second century BC. The engravings were drawn on copperplate by Bouillon himself and published in Jacques Bins de Saint-Victor's "Musee des antiques" between 1810-1821. The juxtaposition of these two scenes highlights both innocence and playfulness while also paying homage to ancient artistry. This print offers us a glimpse into history through its depiction of youth, toys, farm animals like geese, and games played centuries ago. With its intricate details captured through Bouillon's skilled handiwork, this engraving serves as an exquisite example of 19th-century artistry that continues to captivate viewers today.
