EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The sand merchant has passed! Child asleep after eating. Sleep" transports us to a whimsical world of imagination and wonder. The drawing, created by the talented artist Albert Robida in the early 20th century, is part of a book of children's readings from the years 1920-1930. In this enchanting scene, we see a child peacefully slumbering after enjoying a meal. The exhaustion evident on their innocent face tells us that they have had an eventful day filled with excitement and adventure. As they drift off into dreamland, their mind is captivated by tales of an old man who visits at night to sprinkle sand around. Robida's artistry shines through in his depiction of childhood innocence and the power of dreams. His attention to detail brings life to every stroke, capturing not only the physical attributes but also the emotional essence of youth. The image evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when bedtime stories held magical possibilities and sleep was accompanied by fantastical visions. It reminds us that even in our busy lives, it is essential to find moments of rest and tranquility. As we gaze upon this beautiful artwork captured expertly by photographer Gusman, we are reminded once again that art has the ability to transport us beyond reality and awaken our inner childlike wonderment.
