EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the 18th century. Engraved by Louis Michel Halbou in 1781, this exquisite piece captures the essence of an aristocratic morning routine. The image showcases a lady in waiting being assisted by her maid as she prepares for the day ahead. The scene unfolds within an opulent bedroom adorned with luxurious furnishings. A secretary stands nearby, engrossed in his work at a writing desk. The atmosphere exudes elegance and sophistication, offering a glimpse into the lives of the privileged during this era. Intriguingly, coffee plays a central role in this tableau; it symbolizes both indulgence and refinement. We witness the maid carefully pouring coffee into a delicate cup while simultaneously helping her mistress put on stockings. This juxtaposition highlights the contrast between leisurely pursuits and daily tasks that were carried out with utmost attention to detail. Jean Michel Moreau's masterful interpretation of Halbou's engraving adds depth to this already mesmerizing composition. Every intricate line etched onto paper tells its own story, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in this historical moment frozen in time. Displayed at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet, Paris, France, "The Levee" continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and remarkable attention to detail. It serves as a reminder of how art can transport us across centuries and allow us to appreciate the intricacies
