18th Eighteenth Exposed Idle Idleness Kitchen Lazy Resting Sitting Tired Woman Worn Breast Dull Exhausted Greuze Lethargic Slovenly Weary
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Lazy Woman, After J. b. Greuze, 1747" we are transported back to the 18th century and invited to witness a scene of idleness and exhaustion. The image, taken from Eduard Fuchs' renowned book "Illustrierte Sittengeschichte Vom Mittelalter Bis Zur Gegenwart" published in 1909, captures the essence of slovenly lethargy. A weary woman is depicted sitting in a worn-out kitchen, her body slouched with fatigue. Her face reflects a sense of dullness as she rests after what appears to be an arduous day. Exposed breast symbolizes vulnerability and adds depth to her character. The artist's inspiration for this piece comes from J. b. Greuze's original work created in 1747 during the height of the eighteenth-century art movement. Through his brushstrokes or camera lens, Ken Welsh has masterfully recreated this iconic portrayal of laziness. "The Lazy Woman" serves as a reminder that even amidst our modern hustle and bustle, moments of rest are essential for both physical and mental well-being. It prompts us to reflect on our own lives and question if we too have succumbed to weariness or allowed ourselves time for rejuvenation. This print is not just an artistic representation but also a historical artifact that allows us insight into societal norms surrounding idleness centuries ago. As we gaze upon it today, let us appreciate its
