EDITORS COMMENTS
Morning, engraved by Richard Houston, 1758 (litho) captures a serene and elegant moment in time. In this exquisite print, we are transported to a lavish Georgian bedroom where a wealthy woman indulges in her morning routine. The artist, Philippe Mercier, skillfully depicts the opulence of the era through intricate details and refined composition. The focal point of the image is the graceful female figure seated at a beautifully adorned breakfast table. Clad in an exquisite nightcap and luxurious attire, she exudes sophistication as she delicately sips her tea or coffee from an ornate cup. The soft morning light streaming through the window illuminates her surroundings with a warm glow, adding to the overall sense of tranquility. Every element within this scene speaks to leisure and refinement. From the sumptuous drapery cascading down from above to the meticulously crafted furniture that surrounds her, no expense has been spared in creating this intimate sanctuary. Richard Houston's masterful engraving technique brings out every delicate line and texture with precision. This print serves as a testament to his artistic prowess and attention to detail. Displayed proudly at Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in America, this artwork invites us into an enchanting world of wealth and privilege during one of history's most fascinating periods.
