EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Des dames d demi-monde mais n ayant pas de demi-jupes" is a remarkable piece of art that captures the essence of 19th-century French society. Published in the renowned satirical newspaper Le Charivari in 1855, this print offers a glimpse into the world of high-class courtesans and their fashion choices. The artist skillfully portrays these women, known as "demi-mondaines" who were notorious for their glamorous lifestyles and relationships with wealthy men. However, what makes this artwork particularly intriguing is its subtle critique on societal norms. The title itself suggests that despite their extravagant appearances, these ladies lack modesty or half-skirts to cover themselves appropriately. Measuring approximately 9 3/4 by 12 15/16 inches (24.8 by 32.8 cm), this second-state lithograph showcases the talent and attention to detail of its creator from Marseilles, France – Valmondois. His work beautifully captures the intricate textures and delicate features of each woman depicted in this composition. As an important historical artifact, this print provides valuable insights into both artistic techniques prevalent during the mid-1800s and social dynamics within French society at that time. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished as part of a private collection, it serves as a reminder of how art can reflect cultural values while challenging conventional notions about beauty and propriety.
