EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures the essence of an Eastern proverb: "Free sitters grumble most at the play". Created by Rene Bull, a renowned artist from the early 20th century, this colour lithograph is part of a set of cigarette cards featuring Eastern Proverbs. The image showcases intricate details and rich colors that bring the proverb to life. The artwork depicts a scene from an ancient play where free sitters, those who have not paid for their seats, can be seen expressing their discontent. Their faces are filled with frustration and annoyance as they watch the performance unfold before them. This thought-provoking illustration serves as a reminder that people often complain when they receive something for free or without effort. Published by Churchman, these educational cigarette cards offer historical insights into different cultures through proverbs and sayings. They provide viewers with valuable lessons about human nature and societal behavior. This print is part of a private collection but has been made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an educational tool, allowing us to delve into the wisdom contained within Eastern proverbs while appreciating Bull's exceptional talent in capturing emotions on paper.
