EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century engraving, titled "House close" takes us back in time to a world of intrigue and sensuality. The unknown artist skillfully captures the essence of human sexuality through the depiction of a couple engaged in intimate moments within the confines of a house close. The print showcases a naked woman, possibly identified as a harlot, reclining on an opulent bed adorned with exquisite furnishings. Her alluring gaze invites viewers to explore their own desires and fantasies. The attention to detail is remarkable, from the delicate curves of her body to the intricate patterns on the furniture. The setting itself exudes an air of secrecy and forbidden pleasures. The dimly lit room creates an atmosphere that heightens our curiosity about what transpires behind closed doors. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, houses like these have been spaces where people sought solace from societal norms and indulged in their deepest passions. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings this enchanting engraving to life once again. Preserved by Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this piece allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, let it serve as a reminder that human desire has always been an integral part of our existence - timeless and universal across centuries.
