EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Charles Joseph Flipart transports us back to the elegant interiors of 18th century France. The scene depicts a woman gracefully rising from her luxurious bed, surrounded by opulent furnishings. Two servants stand nearby, ready to assist her in getting dressed for the day ahead. As we observe this intimate moment, we can't help but notice the presence of the woman's husband seated in an armchair at the right side of the room. His relaxed posture suggests a sense of privilege and perhaps his role as a spectator rather than an active participant in this morning ritual. The attention to detail in Flipart's etching is remarkable, capturing not only the physical beauty of the setting but also conveying a sense of time and place. The room exudes tranquility with its soft lighting and carefully arranged furniture. Intriguingly, sheet music lies on a nearby table, hinting at both leisure and refinement. It invites us to imagine that music may have played a significant role in this household's daily routines. Through this artwork, Flipart offers us a glimpse into domestic life during this period - where gender roles were clearly defined and social hierarchies were evident even within private spaces. It serves as a reminder that history is not just shaped by grand events but also by everyday moments like these captured on paper. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print stands as testament to Flipart's skillful craftsmanship and his ability to transport viewers across centuries into another world entirely.
