EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time, transporting us to the lounge of Nina de Callias in the late 19th century. The draft for a fan painting showcases an intimate scene filled with music and camaraderie. At the center of attention is Callias, seated at the grand piano, his fingers gracefully dancing across the keys as he fills the room with enchanting melodies. Standing beside him is Ernest Cabaner, a talented composer and pianist, who exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. On the other side of Callias stands Charles Cros, skillfully playing his violin, adding depth and harmony to this musical tableau. The lounge itself is beautifully adorned with lanterns casting a warm glow on everyone present. The atmosphere is electric as these gifted musicians captivate their audience with their talent and passion. Nina de Callias herself, also known as Nina de Villard, can be seen enjoying this private performance from her perch in the parlor. A renowned French writer and poetess, she radiates appreciation for artistry while being surrounded by it. This exquisite piece not only celebrates music but also pays homage to friendship and creativity during this vibrant era. It serves as a reminder that even within our own homes we can create moments of magic through shared experiences like these.
