EDITORS COMMENTS
The Baby House," an exquisite etching on cream chine laid down on ivory wove paper by the renowned Pre-Raphaelite painter John Everett Millais, dates back to the 19th century. This work of art, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases Millais' exceptional artistic skill and his deep understanding of the innocence and charm of childhood. The image depicts a quaint, rustic playroom, filled with an assortment of toys and dolls houses. Two young girls, dressed in Victorian attire, are engrossed in their play, oblivious to the world around them. The older sister is carefully tending to her doll, while her younger sister looks on with admiration. The girls' expressions convey a sense of joy and contentment, encapsulating the essence of sisterly bonding and the simple pleasures of childhood. Millais, a British artist, masterfully captures the warmth and intimacy of this scene, using black and white tones to create a striking contrast between the girls' delicate features and the rough textures of their surroundings. The etching, which is part of the Art Institute of Chicago's extensive collection, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Britain and the Pre-Raphaelite artistic school. This evocative print invites viewers to take a step back in time and experience the charm and innocence of childhood in the 19th century. The Baby House serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to another place and time, and to evoke emotions that transcend generations.
