EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "While the Wig is Being Powdered" takes us back to the early 19th century in Sweden. Created by Per Nordqvist, a Swedish artist known for his satirical and comical works, this gouache painting measures 36x43 cm and is housed in the National Museum of Stockholm. The scene depicted showcases an absurd yet amusing moment in a gentleman's dressing room. A visitor sits patiently as a servant meticulously powders his wig, while another onlooker observes with amusement. The exaggerated hairstyle and extravagant fashion choices reflect the style of that era. Nordqvist's caricature-like approach adds an element of satire to this piece. Through his witty brushstrokes, he humorously comments on societal norms and customs surrounding hair grooming during that time period. The composition invites viewers into this scandanavian interior filled with laughter-inducing details. From the exaggerated headpiece to the playful expressions on each character's face, every element contributes to creating a whimsical atmosphere. "While the Wig is Being Powdered" not only captures a specific historical moment but also serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and bring joy through its clever portrayal of everyday life.
