EDITORS COMMENTS
The Good Education" is a captivating engraving by Jacques Philippe Le Bas, created in the 18th century. This monochrome print, in black on cream laid paper, showcases a poignant scene of education in the countryside. The image is a reflection of the French artist's keen observation of everyday life and the importance of learning. In the foreground, a young girl sits attentively at a table, her eyes fixed on a book as her older sister stands behind her, guiding her hand. The sisters' postures exude a sense of focus and determination, highlighting the value placed on education in the 18th century. The presence of a queen's monogram on the wall above the girls reinforces the idea that even royalty recognizes the importance of a good education. The print is a testament to the enduring legacy of Jean Baptiste Simeon Chardin, who is believed to have influenced Le Bas' work. Chardin's mastery of depicting everyday life and the use of naturalistic lighting can be seen in the way Le Bas captures the soft glow of light filtering through the window and casting a warm glow on the girls. This engraving, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the 18th century. The image transcends time and culture, speaking to the universal importance of education and the bond between siblings. The black and white composition adds to the timeless quality of the print, making it a cherished addition to any art collection.
