EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Fol. 55 Country Folk and the Money Changer" showcases a remarkable piece of art created by the Lesueur Brothers in the 18th century. The artwork, rendered using gouache on card, can be found at the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France. The painting depicts an intriguing scene featuring country folk interacting with a money changer. The characters are dressed in traditional attire and their expressions convey various emotions - curiosity, suspicion, and perhaps even desperation. The artist skillfully captures the atmosphere of this encounter through intricate details such as the scale used for weighing coins and banknotes. Notably present is a tricorn hat worn by one of the figures which adds to the historical context of this composition. A chest of drawers can also be seen in the background, symbolizing wealth or perhaps representing a place where financial transactions take place. The theme explored here revolves around usury and moneylending practices prevalent during that era. This thought-provoking artwork invites viewers to reflect upon societal dynamics related to finance and economic disparities. It's important to note that this image is not associated with any commercial use; instead it serves as an invaluable resource for those interested in fine art history.
