EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FRANCE: DAILY LIFE. The mysteries of a lady's toilette" takes us back to the 18th century, offering a glimpse into the intimate world of an upper-class French woman's dressing room. The image is a French wood engraving after the painting by Jean Baptiste Joseph Pater, renowned for his depictions of daily life in France during this period. The scene unfolds within an opulent interior adorned with mirrors and luxurious furnishings. A young girl, possibly an assistant or servant, stands attentively beside her mistress as she indulges in her morning grooming ritual. The mirror reflects their figures, capturing not only their physical appearances but also hinting at the vanity and self-reflection that were prevalent among women of this era. The enchanting ambiance transports us to a time when every detail mattered in perfecting one's appearance. From adjusting elaborate hairstyles to applying cosmetics delicately, these rituals were shrouded in mystery and fascination. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the intricate social dynamics and cultural practices that shaped daily life for women belonging to the upper echelons of society in 18th-century France. It serves as a testament to both the artistry involved in personal adornment and offers insight into societal expectations surrounding beauty standards during that time. This Granger Collection print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind Jean Baptiste Joseph Pater's original painting but also provides valuable historical context on daily life for women from centuries past
