EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 19th century France with this print titled "Windy Day on the Quais." The scene depicts a bustling street along the Rive Gauche, where bouquinistes are seen at their bookstalls despite the windy weather. However, it seems that business is slow as the gentlemen passing by seem more interested in enjoying the lifted skirts of the ladies.
This historical snapshot offers a glimpse into social dynamics and everyday life during this era. The men's playful gaze and the women's reactions capture a moment frozen in time, inviting viewers to ponder upon the interactions between different classes and genders.
