EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving, titled "La M. de des Bouquets, 1786" transports us back to the late eighteenth century in France. The artist behind this masterpiece is Louis Joseph Watteau, also known as Watteau de Lille. It is a part of his renowned series called Cris et Costumes de Paris. The print showcases a picturesque garden scene with a graceful woman at its center. Dressed in an exquisite floral gown and donning an elegant bonnet, she exudes timeless beauty and sophistication. With her leisurely posture and delicate flower arrangement skills, she epitomizes the recreational activities of that era. The decorative technique employed by Watteau brings out the vibrant colors and intricate details of every element in the composition - from the blooming flowers to the flowing garment of the lady. The use of pastel hues adds a touch of softness and femininity to this enchanting artwork. As we admire this piece, we are transported into a world where leisurely pursuits were cherished and nature was celebrated through artistry. The presence of accessories like umbrellas and parasols further emphasizes both fashion trends and practicality during that period. This print serves as a testament to Watteau's mastery as well as his contribution to French art history. Its inclusion in private collections speaks volumes about its enduring appeal even after centuries have passed since its creation.
