EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical handcoloured lithograph from 1829, we see a scene that captures the essence of social interactions in the 19th century. A lady in an art gallery accidentally steps on a gentleman's foot, causing him to wince in pain. Despite his discomfort, he politely assures her that it's nothing, while secretly thinking "Right on my corn!" The contrast between his outward politeness and inner frustration is comically portrayed in this artwork.
The artist behind this illustration, Jean Gabriel Scheffer, has masterfully captured the nuances of human behavior and communication. The Gihaut brothers' handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the scene, bringing it to life with rich hues and intricate details.
This small yet humorous vignette offers a glimpse into the etiquette and social norms of the time, as well as the subtle complexities of human interaction. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of discomfort or embarrassment, maintaining grace and composure is key.
As we admire this charming piece from Petites Scenes du Monde, we are reminded of the universal truths embedded within seemingly simple everyday encounters. The beauty of art lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its ability to reflect our shared humanity with all its quirks and contradictions.
