Une heure - Promenade au Luxembourg,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Honore Daumier, dates back to 1839. This intriguing piece is part of Daumier's series "La Journee du Celibataire," published in the satirical weekly magazine "Le Charivari." The black and white image portrays a lively scene in the Jardins du Luxembourg, with the Luxembourg Palace and its ornamental pond in the background. Two boys, dressed in typical 19th-century attire, are engaged in a playful yet mischievous encounter. One boy, with a smirk on his face, taunts the other, goading him to take a drink from the pond. The taunted boy, visibly hesitant, looks back at the instigator with a mixture of fear and determination. The caption above the image reads, "Va gredin, avale en! tu verras ce que c'est que d'être jete a l'eau par un p...p...p...pol...is...on comme toi!" which translates to "Go on you scoundrel, swallow it! you'll see what it's like to be thrown into the water by a p...p...p...prankster like you!" The playful banter between the boys is a common theme in Daumier's satirical work, reflecting the everyday life and humor of the time. This lithograph, now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the wit and humor of Honore Daumier and the culture of 19th-century France. The image invites us to reflect on the universal theme of childhood mischief and the bonds of friendship that often arise from such experiences.
