Le Repos de bebe, 1881 - A Glimpse into Motherhood in 19th Century France
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print titled "Le Repos de bebe" created by Marcellin-Gilbert Desboutin in 1881, we are transported to a serene garden setting in the heart of France. The image beautifully captures a tender moment between a mother and her daughter, showcasing the timeless bond of motherhood. Seated on a wooden fence, the young woman leans on her elbow while gazing directly at the camera with an expression of pure love and contentment. Her daughter rests peacefully beside her, leaning against her mother's side. The child's toy cart lies nearby as evidence of playful moments shared. Desboutin's engraving technique brings out intricate details that add depth to the scene - from the delicate lines etched onto their clothing to the subtle shadows cast upon their faces. This second state print is part of a series depicting various stages of rest and repose. As we admire this work housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, it serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document. It offers us insight into family life during late-19th century France – capturing not only maternal tenderness but also reflecting societal norms and values surrounding parenting. "Le Repos de bebe" invites us to reflect on our own experiences with loved ones while appreciating how universal themes such as love, care, and nurturing have transcended time
