EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The opera dancer and the violinist dance teacher" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century French art. Created by the talented French School, this engraving is part of the renowned collection "Caricatures-Singeries" published by Imp. lith. Pellerin et Cie a Epinal, who were even suppliers to S. M. L Imperatrice. In this whimsical scene, we witness an anthropomorphic monkey dressed as an opera dancer engaging with a violinist dance teacher. The monkey's costume is adorned with a crown and a wreath of flowers, adding an element of regality to its comical appearance. As they interact on stage, their laughter fills the air while they mockingly mimic classic dance moves and musical instruments like fiddles. The intricate details captured in this engraving showcase the mastery of Jean Duvallon's artistic skills. Measuring at 41.5x27.5 cm, this piece transports us into a world where animals take center stage in human activities, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. With its vibrant colors and playful composition, this engraving serves as both entertainment and social commentary on French society during that era. It reminds us that art has always been a medium for satire and derision while celebrating music, dance, and creativity. Displayed proudly in private collections today, it continues to captivate viewers with its unique blend of humor and artistic expression from over a century ago.
