A Lover of Old China, 1880
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Edward Lamson Henry that transports us back to the enchanting world of late 19th-century China. In this beautifully composed artwork, we are invited into an intimate interior space adorned with exquisite Chinese cabinets and furniture. A woman, dressed in elegant attire, stands near a window overlooking a picturesque landscape. Her gaze is fixed on the delicate porcelain displayed in the cabinets – a testament to her deep appreciation for the rich history and craftsmanship of old China. A canary perched nearby adds a touch of liveliness to the scene. The presence of a man suggests that he too shares her passion for these treasures from another time. As they both immerse themselves in their shared love for antique artifacts, it becomes evident that their connection goes beyond mere admiration – they are lovers not only of old China but also of each other. Amidst this harmonious setting, even the cat seems captivated by its surroundings as it curiously explores the room's contents. The play between light and shadow further enhances our experience, adding depth and dimension to every brushstroke. This print captures not just an appreciation for art but also offers us glimpses into personal stories woven within historical contexts. It reminds us how objects can hold sentimental value and serve as gateways to different cultures and eras.
