EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a thought-provoking drawing by the renowned artist Honore Daumier. Titled "Concierge looking through a keyhole" this 19th-century artwork captures the essence of curiosity and indiscretion in society. The image depicts a concierge, or janitor, peering through a keyhole with an expression of intrigue on their face. Daumier's skilled hand brings out every detail, from the broom resting against the wall to the woman's eyesight fixated on what lies beyond that door. Through this caricature-like portrayal, Daumier explores themes of voyeurism and vice prevalent in French society during his time. The engraving evokes questions about privacy, secrets, and human nature itself. Displayed at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this drawing has become an iconic representation of Daumier's artistic prowess. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this intriguing piece through his lens, preserving its essence for generations to come. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to 19th-century France—a world where art meets social commentary and where even a simple act like looking through a keyhole can hold profound meaning.
