EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical lithograph captures the essence of a bygone era with its charming depiction of a weather vane. Created by the talented French artist Lucien Metivet, this study showcases his mastery in caricature and humor. The print is part of a private collection and was originally published in L Album, Les Maitres de la Caricature in Paris around 1902. In this delightful artwork, we see a woman elegantly dressed in Belle Époque fashion, gazing up at a wind-driven pinnacle adorned with an intricate weather vane. The attention to detail is remarkable as every fold of her dress and every line on the weather vane are meticulously rendered. The image transports us back to the late 19th century and early 20th century France, evoking nostalgia for a time when artistry flourished amidst societal changes. It reflects both the artistic trends of that period as well as the cultural significance placed on weather vanes during that time. Metivet's playful approach to caricature brings life to this otherwise functional object. Through his skillful brushstrokes, he infuses personality into the wind vane itself, transforming it into more than just an instrument indicating wind direction but also into an animated character dancing with each gust. This lithograph serves not only as a testament to Metivet's talent but also as a window into French culture during the Belle Époque era. Its vibrant colors and lightheartedness make it an enchanting
