EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and thought-provoking print that captures a moment of sheer awkwardness and surprise. Painted by the talented artist Kittelsen, this watercolor on paper artwork measures 27x22 cm and belongs to a private collection. The scene depicted in the painting is from Kittelsen's series titled "Do the Animals have a soul" adding an intriguing layer of anthropomorphic elements. In this particular image, we witness an elegant lady's arrival at a dining table where gentlemen are enjoying their meal. However, what makes this situation truly embarrassing is the unexpected presence of beetles and grasshoppers as unwanted guests. The illustration beautifully portrays the shock and disapproving expressions on both human and insect faces. The civilised atmosphere quickly turns into discomfort as everyone tries to maintain composure while insects invade their dining experience. This artwork not only showcases Kittelsen's artistic skills but also serves as a reminder of how unexpected circumstances can lead to moments of embarrassment in our own lives. It invites viewers to reflect on social norms, expectations, and how we deal with uncomfortable situations. With its attention-grabbing subject matter and skillful execution, "Embarrassing Family Relations" continues to captivate audiences even after more than a century since its creation.
