The Patient
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the International Exhibition of 1871. Created by Pierre Edouard Frere, this artwork beautifully captures domestic scenes filled with dolls, toys, and playful children. The focus of the image is a young girl who assumes the role of "The Patient". With her innocent eyes fixed on an unseen doctor or caregiver, she patiently awaits her turn for attention. Her posture exudes vulnerability and trust as she sits amidst a collection of cherished playthings. It's evident that this scene represents more than just child's play; it symbolizes the universal experience of waiting patiently for care and comfort. Frere's meticulous attention to detail brings life to each element within the composition - from the delicate features of the dolls to the intricate patterns on their clothing. The artist masterfully captures not only physical attributes but also emotions through subtle facial expressions and body language. This enchanting print reminds us of our own childhood innocence and evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when imagination reigned supreme in our lives. It serves as a timeless reminder that even in moments of anticipation or discomfort, there is beauty to be found in patience and resilience. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this remarkable piece continues to inspire viewers with its tender portrayal of childhood wonderment and unwavering patience.
