Abel Circular Engagement Entitled Faivre Hands Intertwined Issue Lalbum Maitres Napoleonic Relaxes Retour Setting Wagram Wars 1901

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating portrait sketch, circa 1901, featuring a young lady in a serene and picturesque setting. The young woman, dressed in the fashionable attire of the early 20th century, sits comfortably by a circular table, her hands intertwined in her lap, as she takes a moment to relax outdoors. The tranquil scene is reminiscent of a peaceful interlude amidst the backdrop of the historic site of Wagram. Wagram, located in present-day Austria, holds significant military history as the site of a major engagement during the Napoleonic Wars. The battle of Wagram, fought in 1809, saw the Austrian forces led by Archduke Charles defeat the French army under the command of Napoleon Bonaparte. This sketch, however, offers a stark contrast to the tumultuous events of the past, instead evoking a sense of calm and repose. The title "Retour De Wagram" adds an intriguing layer to the image, suggesting a connection to the historic site. The phrase "Retour," meaning "return" in French, could imply that the young woman is reflecting on a past journey or experience related to Wagram. This evocative sketch is part of the "March of the Women Collection" from Mary Evans Prints Online. The collection, which includes works by various artists, is known for its high-quality reproductions of historical and artistic prints. This particular sketch, created by the French caricaturist Abel Faivre, is an exquisite example of the artistic talent and skill present in the collection. The intriguing title, the beautiful setting, and the young woman's relaxed pose all combine to create a captivating and thought-provoking image that invites the viewer to ponder the connections between the past and the present, history and personal experience.
