EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history, set in 18th century France, where a French lady is seen indulging in her bath while her maid brings in a tray offering her the choice between two tempting options - chocolate or a love letter. The scene is rich with historical details, from the elegant parquet flooring to the intricate lace adorning the lady's attire.
The female protagonist appears poised and regal as she contemplates her decision, showcasing the luxurious lifestyle of the upper class during this time period. Her loyal maid stands by attentively, ready to cater to her every whim.
The contrast between the decadent treat of chocolate and the romantic gesture of a love letter adds an intriguing element to this image. It speaks volumes about desire and pleasure, highlighting how even simple choices can hold significant meaning.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from centuries past, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of intimacy and luxury. The presence of a small dog at their feet adds charm to the composition, reminding us that even amidst opulence, there are moments of simplicity and companionship.
Mary Evans Picture Library has truly captured a slice of history with this enchanting print that evokes both nostalgia and curiosity about life in 18th century France.
