EDITORS COMMENTS
. This hand-coloured mezzotint print, titled "The Contemplative Charmer" takes us back to the elegant world of 18th-century England. The artwork, created by an anonymous English School artist, offers a fascinating insight into the courtship rituals of the upper class during this era. In this enchanting scene set in a lush garden, we see a young woman seated on a bench engrossed in her book.
