EDITORS COMMENTS
This collection of sketches, titled "Studies of Women," showcases the artistic mastery of French caricaturist, Lucien-Marie-François Métivet, circa 1901. The album, a treasure trove of artistic expression, features women in various positions that exude an air of confidence and strength. In one sketch, a woman stands with her hands on her hips and carries a case, her posture radiating determination and independence. In another, she stands whilst holding her skirts, her expression thoughtful and deep in thought. The reclined woman on a bed invites the viewer to indulge in a moment of tranquility, while the woman writing on a wall adds an element of rebellion and nonconformity. A head portrait of a woman completes the series, her gaze steady and unwavering. Métivet's skillful use of line and form brings each woman to life, capturing the essence of their individuality and spirit. His artistry transcends time, offering a glimpse into the lives of these women over a century ago. The "Studies of Women" album is a testament to Métivet's artistic vision and his ability to capture the complexities of the female form and experience. Lucien-Marie-François Métivet was a renowned French caricaturist, whose works graced the pages of various publications, including "Le Rire" and "L'Illustration." His art, while often humorous, always carried a deep appreciation for the human condition and the women who lived it.
