EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Little Tongue of Columbine, 1913" we are transported to a world of mischievousness and flirtation. Painted by the talented Konstantin Andreevic Somov, this watercolor and gouache masterpiece measures 29.3x22.5 cm and is housed in the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. The image captures a scene from a masked ball, where individuals don elaborate costumes to conceal their true identities. In this particular moment, we witness a cheeky coquette dressed as Columbine playfully sticking out her tongue at an unseen admirer. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to the painting, while fireworks illuminate the background with bursts of color. Somov's skillful brushwork beautifully portrays the essence of masquerade festivities - filled with mystery, allure, and excitement. The character's costume exudes elegance and charm reminiscent of harlequin or pierrot attire. "The Little Tongue of Columbine" invites us into a world where boundaries are blurred between reality and fantasy. It reminds us that even within formal gatherings such as masquerades, there is always room for mischief and playful encounters. This stunning piece from Bridgeman Images serves as a testament to Somov's talent in capturing fleeting moments that ignite our imagination long after they have passed.
