Editor: So, this is "See, my dear, when a lover begins to become dangerous," by Paul Gavarni. It looks like a print of two women in conversation. There's a sense of knowingness to their expressions. What do you make of it? Curator: Ah, Gavarni! He had such a knack for capturing Parisian life with wit and a wink. I imagine these two are discussing a suitor, perhaps a bit *too* ardent. Do you notice how their dresses differ? One's adorned, the other somber. Almost like a cautionary tale painted in fabric. It makes you wonder what advice is being exchanged. Editor: That's a great point about the dresses! It adds another layer to the conversation. I hadn't considered the visual storytelling there. Curator: It's like Gavarni’s little secret, whispered through ink and paper. Art becomes a delightful eavesdropping session, doesn’t it?
