EDITORS COMMENTS
Circle Round! Gently Little One, I'm More than Fifteen Years Old," is an evocative lithograph in black on ivory wove paper created by the renowned French artist Auguste Raffet in 1832. This work of art, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, transports us back in time to a simpler era, filled with joy, celebration, and the innocent delight of childhood. The image depicts a lively scene of villagers, both men and women, gathered together in a circle dance. At the center of the circle, a young boy, with a mischievous grin on his face, playfully holds the hand of a girl, who appears to be even younger. The surrounding adults, some with dogs at their feet, join in the dance, their faces expressing pure enjoyment and camaraderie. Auguste Raffet masterfully captures the essence of this moment, encapsulating the spirit of community and the unifying power of music and dance. The black and white contrast of the lithograph adds to the timeless quality of the image, making it a cherished piece of heritage art that continues to inspire and delight audiences today. This work of art is a testament to the universal language of human connection and the enduring appeal of simple pleasures. The scene invites us to reflect on the importance of community, tradition, and the joy of celebrating life's simple moments, no matter the era or location. Raffet's "Circle Round! Gently Little One, I'm More than Fifteen Years Old," is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, the 19th century, or the human experience. It serves as a reminder that, despite the passage of time, the essence of human connection and the joy of community remain constant.
