EDITORS COMMENTS
Summer Indolence," a captivating etching on ivory wove paper by the renowned British artist John Everett Millais, painted in 1861, is a poignant representation of the simple joys of childhood and the tender bond between mother and infant. Set in a lush, sun-drenched meadow, the image showcases two young women clad in Victorian attire, reclining on a blanket with a baby in their midst. The older woman, likely the mother, looks on with a serene expression, her eyes fixed on the infant as she gently strokes its cheek. The younger woman, possibly a sister or friend, gazes off into the distance, her expression one of contentment and relaxation. The title "Summer Indolence" perfectly encapsulates the scene, as the women and baby bask in the warmth of the season, their bodies at ease and their minds at peace. The use of black and white in the etching adds to the timeless quality of the image, transporting viewers back to a simpler era. Millais' meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate textures of the grass and fabric, as well as the delicate features of the women and baby. As a leading figure of the Pre-Raphaelite artistic school, Millais is known for his realistic and detailed depictions of everyday life, and "Summer Indolence" is no exception. This etching is a beautiful testament to the beauty and innocence of childhood, the joys of family, and the simple pleasures of a sunny day in the countryside.
