EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "At the Entrance, 1796-98" by Louis Leopold Boilly depicts a charming scene that transports us back to late 18th-century France. The oil on canvas artwork measures 32.5x24.5 cm and is housed in the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. In this delightful composition, two young girls dressed in elegant silk gowns stand outside a grand door, their hands reaching for a bell cord. Accompanying them is a small dog, adding an element of playfulness to the scene. The girls' expressions suggest anticipation or perhaps mischief as they prepare to announce their arrival. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate patterns on the girls' dresses to the texture of their fur muff and handwarmer accessories. Boilly masterfully captures both the innocence and sophistication of his subjects. This enchanting image invites us into a world where time seems to stand still - where young ladies patiently wait at doorways with excitement bubbling beneath their composed exteriors. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when even mundane activities were imbued with grace and elegance. As we admire this beautiful print, let us appreciate not only its artistic merit but also its ability to transport us across centuries into an era long gone yet forever preserved through art's timeless magic.
