EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "December, c. 1790" transports us back in time to a cozy and intimate scene. Painted by the talented Robert Dighton, this watercolor on paper masterpiece captures the essence of a winter evening in 18th century England. The image depicts an elegant interior adorned with flickering candles that cast a warm glow throughout the room. In the foreground, we see a group of well-dressed individuals engrossed in a card game, their faces illuminated by candlelight. The atmosphere is one of camaraderie and merriment. However, amidst the laughter and joviality, there is an underlying sense of solitude and loneliness. A solitary cat perches on a chair nearby, observing the scene with curious eyes. Perhaps it symbolizes companionship sought but not found within these walls. Dighton's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life - from the intricate patterns on clothing to the delicate brushstrokes capturing each face's expression. This painting invites us into its world; we can almost hear the crackling fire and feel the warmth emanating from it. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' expertise in preserving historical artworks like this one, we are fortunate enough to enjoy this glimpse into history today. As we admire "December, c. 1790" let us appreciate both its artistic beauty and its ability to transport us through time into another era filled with both joyous moments shared among friends and quiet moments spent contemplating life's complexities.
