The Portrait
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and humorous illustration that captures the essence of French satire in the early 20th century. Created by Charles Emile Egli, also known as Carlegle, this colour lithograph was originally published in Le Rire magazine on October 24,1908. The scene depicted in the print takes place within a bedroom, where a well-known politician anxiously awaits his portrait to be painted by a renowned artist. The composition is filled with wit and caricatured charm as both figures are portrayed in their most vulnerable states: the senator fully clothed while his female counterpart stands completely naked. Egli's satirical approach highlights not only the absurdity of political power but also sheds light on societal norms and gender dynamics prevalent during that era. Through exaggerated features and comical expressions, he manages to create an amusing commentary on social hierarchy and human nature. This artwork exemplifies the mastery of satirical drawing and its ability to provoke laughter while simultaneously making scathing critiques. It showcases Egli's talent for capturing moments of everyday life with an added touch of wit and whimsy. "The Portrait" remains an important piece within French culture, representing not only artistic excellence but also serving as a reminder of France's rich tradition in satire. Its inclusion in private collections ensures that this remarkable work will continue to be appreciated for generations to come.
