EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Portrait by Constantin Guys" transports us back to the mid-19th century. Taken around 1860 and published in Verve magazine in 1939, this artwork showcases the talent of renowned artist Constantin Guys. In this image, we see two women standing side by side, exuding elegance and grace. The woman on the left lifts her skirt slightly as if preparing for a dance or perhaps engaging in flirtation. Her colorful dress with its crinoline and petticoat adds an air of sophistication to her appearance. The posture of both women is striking; one places her hand confidently on her hip while the other adopts a more relaxed stance. Their direct gazes suggest confidence and assertiveness, challenging societal norms of their time. Guys' use of pastel colors enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of this portrait. The soft hues create a dreamlike atmosphere that further emphasizes the metaphorical nature of this piece. As we admire this artwork, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also how it captures a specific moment in time – the intersection between the 19th and 20th centuries. This print serves as a testament to Guys' artistic prowess and his ability to immortalize beauty through his brushstrokes.
