EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming bathtime scene, created by the talented British artist Alfred Bestall in 1930, captures a tender moment between a mother and her young daughter. The little girl, with rosy cheeks and twinkling eyes, looks up in surprise as she hears a knock at the door. "If you come in, Uncle, you must excuse me being all pink!", she calls out, her voice filled with excitement and a touch of embarrassment. Bestall, who is best known for his long-running comic strip "Rupert Bear," began his career as an illustrator for The Tatler magazine. Before creating the beloved Rupert Bear character, he produced more than forty color illustrations for the publication, as well as countless humorous line drawings and cartoon sketches. The historical bathtime scene, which is part of a series of twenty-one illustrations, is filled with warmth and humor. The mother, dressed in a simple white apron, gently washes her daughter's hair, while the young girl's toys float around them in the tub. The door, slightly ajar, provides a glimpse into the outside world, hinting at the possibility of unexpected visitors. Bestall's use of color and detail in this image is truly captivating. The pink hues of the little girl's bathwater and her rosy cheeks add a playful touch to the scene, while the mother's calm expression and gentle touch convey a sense of comfort and love. This image, with its timeless charm and endearing characters, is a delightful reminder of the simple joys of childhood.
