EDITORS COMMENTS
Boredom, c. 1880-90" is a captivating pen and ink print by George du Maurier that captures the essence of ennui in the late 19th century. Measuring 13x22 cm, this artwork depicts five individuals seated on chairs in what appears to be a domestic setting. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen, as he skillfully portrays the weariness and restlessness that accompanies boredom. The figures' slouched postures and distant gazes convey their disinterest in their surroundings, while the subtle shading adds depth to their expressions. Through this artwork, du Maurier invites us into a world where time seems to stand still; where even books fail to provide solace from monotony. The window behind them offers no respite either, as it only serves as a reminder of an outside world they are disconnected from. As we observe these individuals lost in their own thoughts, we cannot help but empathize with their state of mind. Boredom becomes more than just an emotion - it transforms into an art form itself. This print serves as a poignant reminder that despite being created over a century ago, human experiences remain universal throughout time. It prompts us to reflect on our own moments of tedium and encourages us to seek inspiration or engage with our surroundings rather than succumbing to lethargy. With its exquisite craftsmanship and timeless subject matter, "Boredom" continues to captivate viewers today just as it did when first created by George du Maurier.
