EDITORS COMMENTS
(What is still lacking?) is a captivating 19th century etching and stipple engraving by renowned French artist Louis Michel Petit. This exquisite artwork, titled "Que n'y est-il encore?", transports us back in time to a tranquil bedroom scene, filled with the elegance and charm of the French countryside. The image features a woman, dressed in the height of 19th century fashion, standing before a mirror in a bedchamber. She is in the process of getting ready for the day, her thoughtful expression suggesting that she is contemplating the final touches to her outfit. The room is adorned with ornate furniture, including a grand bed with intricately draped fabric, a chair upholstered in rich velvet, and a hat resting on a table. The artist, Louis Michel Petit, masterfully captures the essence of the moment, using color etching and stipple techniques to bring the scene to life. The woman's clothing, with its delicate fabrics and intricate patterns, is rendered in exquisite detail, while the furniture and accessories are depicted with a sense of realism that speaks to the artist's keen observational skills. The artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of France during the 19th century, and a reminder of the beauty and elegance of indoor interiors. It is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for art, fashion, and the history of European culture. This engraving is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. Louis Leopold Boilly, a contemporary of Petit, is also known for his depictions of indoor scenes, and his influence can be seen in the attention to detail and the realistic portrayal of everyday life in this etching. Whether you are an art aficionado, a student of history, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, "Que n'y est-il encore?" is a must-see addition to any collection.
