EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Femme de metier (etude de jeune fille appuyee sur une chaise), 1889?" captures the essence of a young girl leaning against a chair, beautifully engraved by Marcellin-Gilbert Desboutin. The image, dating back to the 19th century, showcases the artist's mastery in drypoint technique. The subject of this portrait is an educator, depicted with grace and elegance. She exudes confidence as she leans casually on the chair, her profile highlighted against a simple backdrop. This portrayal reflects the changing roles of women during that era when education was becoming more accessible for females. Desboutin's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving. The delicate lines bring out the woman's features while adding depth and texture to her surroundings. Through this artwork, he pays homage to both female empowerment and education. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece invites viewers into a world where women were breaking barriers and taking up professions traditionally dominated by men. It serves as a reminder of how far society has come in terms of gender equality while acknowledging that there is still progress to be made. "Femme de metier (etude de jeune fille appuyee sur une chaise), 1889?" encapsulates not only Desboutin's artistic skill but also represents an important chapter in history where women were carving their own paths amidst societal expectations.
