EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming 18th-century engraving titled "Little girl with her lunch" we are transported to a bygone era where childhood chores and domestic scenes were captured in exquisite detail. The print, engraved by Charles Nicolas Cochin I after Jean-Baptiste Simeon Chardin's original work, showcases the simple yet captivating beauty of everyday life. A young girl is seated on a wooden stool, engrossed in her midday meal. Her delicate features and innocent expression evoke a sense of purity and tranquility. Dressed in traditional French attire, she wears a cap adorned with ribbons that frames her cherubic face. The scene exudes an air of authenticity as it portrays the child engaged in household tasks. A basket filled with luscious cherries rests beside her, symbolizing abundance and indulgence. In one hand, she holds scissors - perhaps hinting at the importance of craftwork or sewing skills within the household. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a window into the past - offering us glimpses into children's lives during this period. It reminds us of simpler times when daily routines were intertwined with moments of joy and reflection. Displayed at the Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm and masterful technique. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we can't help but be transported back to an era where innocence reigned supreme and childhood was cherished above all else
