Beauties of Greece -- or -- Luxuries of the Kremlin - A Kitchen Frolic,
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating hand-colored etching on ivory wove paper, created by the renowned British artist, Sir Isaac Robert Cruikshank in 1819. This intriguing work of art, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases four plump women, clad in elegant attire, indulging in a drunken kitchen frolic. The scene takes place in a grand interior, with a magnificent fireplace as its centerpiece. The women, who appear to be of high society, are surrounded by luxurious items, hinting at their privileged status. The title of the print, "Beauties of Greece," alludes to the women's beauty and elegance, while "Luxuries of the Kremlin" suggests an exotic and opulent setting. The women, who are likely members of the royal court, are depicted in various stages of drunkenness. One woman is passed out on the floor, while another is holding a glass of wine and laughing. A third woman is feeding a man, who is lying on the table, and the fourth is pouring wine into a glass. The man, who is identified as "George Prince of Wales," is likely George IV, who was known for his excessive drinking and gluttony. The print is a testament to the extravagance and excesses of the British aristocracy during the 19th century. The use of hand coloring and intricate etching techniques adds to the print's visual appeal, making it a valuable addition to any art collection. The title "Vide Brighton Vagaries" suggests that this print may be part of a series, further adding to its intrigue. Overall, "Beauties of Greece -- or -- Luxuries of the Kremlin: A Kitchen Frolic" is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a humorous and insightful look into the lives of the wealthy and privileged in 19th century Britain.
