EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Children play tragedy Children Spouting Tragedy" we are transported to the steps of a grand classical building. Five children, dressed as actors in expressions of profound sadness, command our attention. Each child embodies a different facet of tragedy, their emotions palpable even through the stillness of the image. One young girl stands out among them, her finger pointing upwards as if she is reciting lines from a tragic script. Her focused gaze suggests she is deeply engrossed in her role. Beside her, another child hides her face in despair, perhaps overwhelmed by the weight of the scene unfolding before them. On the floor lie symbols that further enhance this dramatic atmosphere - a mask and an open book on tragedy itself. These objects serve as reminders that art has always been intertwined with human suffering and catharsis. Created by Charles Howard Hodges in London during 1785, this exquisite paper print captures both innocence and melancholy within its dimensions measuring 456 mm (height) by 553 mm (width). The Liszt Collection brings forth this poignant portrayal without any commercial intent but rather to invite contemplation on how even children can convey profound depths of emotion through their imaginative playacting.
