EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Deux chats se seduisant sur un toit" transports us into a whimsical world of feline courtship. The vignettes, beautifully illustrated by JJ Granville (or J. J. Grandville), depict two cats engaging in a charming display of flirtation on a rooftop. The intricate engravings were skillfully crafted by Andrew, Best, and Leloir as part of the section entitled "Peines de cour d'une chatte anglaise" written by Honore de Balzac. Published in 1842 as part of the book "Scenes de la vie privee et publique des animaux" edited under the direction of P. -J. Stahl (also known as Pierre-Jules Hetzel), this artwork offers a glimpse into contemporary social customs through animal allegory. The image captures the essence of playful romance between these enchanting creatures, showcasing their grace and allure amidst an urban backdrop. It is evident that Granville's illustrations are not only aesthetically pleasing but also rich with narrative depth. This particular print is housed within a private collection and was captured by A© Jean Duvallon for Fine Art Finder. Its timeless charm continues to captivate viewers today, reminding us of the enduring appeal and universal themes found within art across centuries.
