EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century engraving by A. Schall, titled "The Unofficial Maid" offers a glimpse into the intimate domestic scene of that era. The print showcases a young woman, depicted in her natural form, exuding vulnerability and innocence. Her nudity serves as a symbol of purity and honesty within the confines of her private space. The composition is meticulously detailed, emphasizing the meticulousness with which furniture was arranged during this period. The bed takes center stage, representing both comfort and care for one's well-being. It also hints at the potential presence of a doctor or caregiver attending to the maid's health needs. Schall's work subtly explores themes such as voyeurism and societal roles through his portrayal of an unofficial maid. This suggests that she may not be recognized or acknowledged officially but remains an integral part of household affairs. Giancarlo Costa has skillfully captured this historical artwork in its true essence through his photography expertise. By preserving this piece from a private collection, he allows us to appreciate its beauty while respecting copyright regulations. As we delve into this enchanting engraving, we are transported back in time to witness the delicate balance between femininity and domesticity prevalent in 18th-century society—a testament to art's ability to transcend time and evoke contemplation on our ever-evolving cultural norms.
