The Levee, 1892
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Joseph Caraud captures a captivating scene from the late 18th century in an upper-class bedroom. The print showcases a beautifully decorated space with intricate details that transport us back in time. In this intimate setting, we see a young woman seated on the edge of her bed, engrossed in reading a love letter. She is surrounded by servants who assist her in getting ready for the day ahead. The room exudes elegance and luxury, with its plush carpet and exquisite 18th-century costumes adorning both the mistress and her maid. A decorative screen or paravent adds to the privacy of this boudoir, creating an air of secrecy as she indulges in her private correspondence. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element has been carefully arranged to convey a sense of opulence and refinement. The painting on display behind them further enhances the ambiance of this sophisticated space. It serves as a reminder that art was not limited to public galleries but also adorned private chambers like these. "The Levee, 1892" offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but still captivates our imagination today. Through Caraud's lens, we are transported into this world where love letters were cherished treasures and dressing rituals were elaborate affairs conducted under the watchful eyes of devoted servants. This print truly encapsulates beauty, history, and intrigue all within one frame.
