EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching and drypoint print, titled "A couple ordering their meal" is an exquisite illustration created by Edgar Chahine for Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette's renowned novel, Mitsou. Published in 1930, this artwork beautifully captures a moment of intimacy and anticipation between two lovers as they sit at a table in a restaurant. The scene depicts a charming couple engrossed in the menu, carefully considering their options for dinner. The female figure can be seen reading the menu with great concentration while her male companion looks on attentively. Their expressions reveal a sense of excitement and curiosity as they navigate through the choices before them. Chahine's masterful use of etching and drypoint techniques brings depth and texture to this illustration. The intricate details showcase his skillful craftsmanship, highlighting every line and contour with precision. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century dining culture, this artwork transports us back to an era where meals were savored slowly, decisions made thoughtfully, and conversations shared intimately. It serves as both a visual feast for the eyes and a nostalgic reminder of simpler times. As we gaze upon this enchanting print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of Colette's timeless storytelling ability that continues to captivate readers even today. This artwork stands as a testament to the enduring power of art to evoke emotions and transport us into different worlds - even if just for a fleeting moment.
