EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Lipstick / Mauzan 1917," transports us back in time to the early 20th century, where the simple act of applying lipstick was an artful and romantic experience. The photograph, taken in 1917, showcases a pretty woman seated in a vintage bathroom setting. She gazes intently into a mirror, her expression a blend of curiosity and anticipation, as Cupid, the mythological god of love, tenderly paints her lips a bold, fiery red. The scene is set against a backdrop of elegant furnishings, including a clawfoot tub, ornate mirror, and a dainty vanity table adorned with a delicate porcelain vase and a bouquet of roses. The woman's attire, consisting of a flowing, high-necked blouse and a full, flowing skirt, adds to the timeless allure of the moment. The artist, Mauzan, masterfully captures the essence of the moment, as Cupid skillfully applies the lipstick from a palette, using a delicate paintbrush. The red lipstick, a symbol of femininity and allure, transforms the woman's lips into a luscious, inviting pout. The intricate detail in the photograph, from the delicate folds of the woman's skirt to the fine lines of Cupid's wings, speaks to the artistry and craftsmanship of the era. This photograph, with its romantic and timeless appeal, offers a glimpse into the past, where the act of applying lipstick was a luxurious and romantic ritual. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of beauty and the artistry that lies in the smallest of details.
