EDITORS COMMENTS
Auguste Raffet's captivating Sheet of Sketches: Men, Women and Mice (n.d.) offers a glimpse into the daily life of 19th century rural France. This intriguing pencil, watercolor and graphite drawing on white wove paper tipped onto gray laid paper, by Denis Auguste Marie Raffet, showcases a diverse group of individuals engaged in various agricultural activities. In the foreground, a farmhand cradles a large basket filled with ripe produce, his weathered face and worn clothing reflecting the physical demands of his occupation. Nearby, a woman in a blue apron tenderly holds a small mouse, perhaps a pet or a symbol of the interconnectedness of rural life. A group of men, dressed in simple work clothes and hats, are shown in the background, likely engaged in farm labor or farm work. The use of color and pencil in this artwork adds depth and texture, bringing the scene to life. The men and women are depicted with a sense of warmth and humanity, their expressions and body language revealing the unique characteristics of each individual. The inclusion of mice adds a touch of whimsy and humor, reminding us of the interconnectedness of all living beings. This evocative work of art, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, provides a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people and their connection to the land. Raffet's skillful use of pencil, watercolor, and graphite captures the essence of rural life in 19th century France, making it a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery.
