EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Grandmother, 1909" transports us back in time to the early 20th century. Created by French artist Alexandre Lunois as an illustration for Hans Christian Andersen's Stories and Adventures, this piece beautifully captures a moment of tranquility and introspection. In the center of the frame sits a graceful elderly woman, dressed in a traditional French gown. She is seated on an elegant chair, surrounded by exquisite furniture that exudes timeless charm. The room is adorned with delicate flowers placed in a vase near the window, bringing nature indoors. With a book open on her lap, it is evident that literature holds great importance to this wise grandmother. Her focused gaze suggests deep engagement with the written word, while also conveying a sense of relaxation and contentment. The monochrome palette adds depth to the image, emphasizing every intricate detail from her attire to her serene expression. This etching showcases Lunois' remarkable skill in capturing not only physical likeness but also emotional nuances. As we admire this beautiful portrait frozen in time, we are reminded of the significance of family connections and how storytelling can transport us to different worlds. It serves as both an homage to Hans Christian Andersen's enduring tales and as a testament to Lunois' artistic prowess in immortalizing moments of quiet contemplation through his artistry.
