EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Lison Dormait" (Lison Asleep), is a masterpiece created by Philippe Triere during the 18th or 19th century. The image transports us to a quaint countryside setting, where a woman named Lison is depicted seated on a wooden bench in front of a charming cottage. Surrounded by the beauty of nature, she cradles a sleeping child in her arms, while a curious dog looks on from the yard. The tranquility of the scene is further emphasized by the presence of other dogs and children playing nearby, all gathered around the open door of the cottage. The etching and engraving technique used by Triere adds a unique texture to the print, capturing every detail of the buildings, doors, and people in the scene. The use of contrasting light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimension, inviting the viewer to explore the image further. This work of art is a testament to the rich heritage of French art, showcasing the beauty and simplicity of rural life during the 18th or 19th century. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this piece in its collection, allowing art enthusiasts from around the world to appreciate the skill and artistry of Philippe Triere. The scene of a woman peacefully sleeping with a child in her arms is a common motif in art, representing the themes of motherhood, nurturing, and rest. The addition of the dogs and children adds a sense of warmth and community to the image, making it a beloved and enduring work of art.
