EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Lady of the nobility in the 18th century, in a chair with porters receiving the kiss hand" takes us back to a bygone era of elegance and social hierarchy. Created in 1895 by Job (pseudonym for Onfray de Breville), this piece offers a glimpse into the refined world of French aristocracy during the ancient regime. The scene depicts a noble lady seated gracefully on an ornate chair, surrounded by her attendants or porters. In an act of utmost politeness and respect, one porter leans forward to receive a kiss on his hand from the lady. This gesture symbolizes her status and power within society. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this illustration. From the lady's exquisite attire and powdered wig to the elaborate sedan chair that carries her through what appears to be a lush park setting, each element transports us back to this opulent period. "La France son Histoire" by Montorgueil served as inspiration for Job's work, further emphasizing its historical significance. Preserved in private collection today, this print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also gain insights into societal norms and customs prevalent during that time. Bridgeman Images has made it possible for art enthusiasts worldwide to enjoy this remarkable piece from their Fine Art Finder collection. It serves as a reminder of how art can transport us across centuries and provide glimpses into different cultures and eras.
