EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "When life is hard, it's better to be young" transports us back to the year 1911. Created by Lionel Percy Smythe, this watercolor on paper masterpiece measures 34x22.4 cm and can be found at the Harris Museum and Art Gallery in Preston, Lancashire, UK. In this poignant scene, we witness a young girl amidst challenging circumstances. The artist skillfully captures her innocence and resilience as she finds solace in an attic granary. The phrase "Dans un grenier qu'on est biens a vingt ans" meaning "In an attic one feels good at twenty" adds depth to the image. The girl's surroundings tell a story of poverty and struggle. A baby rests peacefully in a Moses basket near a modest stove while her mother tends to them both with care. A brazier provides warmth against the harsh realities of life outside their sanctuary. Smythe's painting reminds us that even in times of hardship, youth possesses an innate ability to find joy and hope where others may see only despair. It serves as a timeless reminder that strength can be found within oneself during difficult times. This evocative artwork from Bridgeman Images not only showcases exceptional talent but also invites contemplation about the universal themes of poverty, family bonds, and the indomitable spirit of youth.
