EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Don't Come In" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of utmost privacy and vulnerability. The artwork depicts a female figure in a bathroom, engaged in an intimate act of self-administering medical treatment. With the inscription "On n'entre pas" (Don't come in) prominently displayed on the door, it is evident that this woman seeks solitude and discretion during her procedure. The scene showcases the importance placed on modesty and personal autonomy when it comes to matters of health and well-being. It offers a glimpse into historical practices such as colonic irrigation or cleansing through the use of an enema, which were considered essential for maintaining good health at that time. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke brings life to this delicate portrayal. The soft hues used in this coloured engraving add depth and warmth to the image, enhancing its emotional impact. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of how far medicine has progressed over time while acknowledging that certain aspects of human nature remain constant – our desire for privacy even during moments of vulnerability. This artwork serves as a testament to both our shared humanity and our ever-evolving understanding of healthcare practices throughout history.
