EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting handcoloured lithograph captures the essence of a woman's transformation into a pansy, or pensee, for a masquerade ball during the late 1800s in Paris. The elaborate costume, designed by M. Robin, features a dress adorned with intricate floral patterns and delicate pansy petals, evoking the beauty and fragility of the beloved flower. The woman's face is hidden behind a mask, adding an air of mystery and allure. Surrounded by the night sky, twinkling stars, and zodiac signs, she appears as if she has stepped right out of an opera or theatre production. With a fan in hand and a graceful posture, she embodies the fancy and whimsy of the masquerade ball. The woman's pansy costume is a nod to the symbolism of the pansy flower, which represents thoughts and memories. This could suggest that the woman is reflecting on the past or cherishing memories as she dances the night away. The handcoloured lithograph, published by Martinet in Paris, showcases the exquisite detail and artistry of the late 19th century. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colours bring the enchanting scene to life, transporting us to a time of elegance and wonder. Whether an actress, singer, or dancer on the stage, or simply a woman enjoying the festivities of the masquerade ball, this woman in her pansy costume is a captivating sight to behold.
