EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisitely hand-colored lithograph by the Gihaut brothers, we witness a captivating moment in an 1820s parlor, where a lady gracefully plays the piano for a gathering of guests. The room is filled with elegance and refinement, as a gentleman listens intently, while other ladies watch with admiration. The atmosphere is charged with the anticipation of a remarkable performance. The pianist, lost in the music, delicately touches the keys, her expression a blend of concentration and joy. Her talent is undeniable, and the guests are in awe. One lady, unable to contain her excitement, whispers to her companion, "She's very talented." The pianist, however, thinks to herself, "Now we have to swallow a concerto." The weight of expectation presses upon her, as she prepares to showcase her full repertoire. The guests, enchanted by her skill, eagerly await the continuation of her performance. The dapper gentleman in the corner, with a proud smile, seems to be relishing the beauty and sophistication of the scene unfolding before him. This intricately detailed lithograph, inspired by an illustration by Swiss artist Jean Gabriel Scheffer, is a stunning representation of the social life and interior decor of the time. The intricate patterns on the wallpaper, the elegant furniture, and the delicate fabrics all contribute to the overall sense of elegance and refinement. This exquisite artwork is a testament to the enduring allure of music and the captivating power of a talented performer.
