The Light, from the third album of L'Estampe originale 1893

"The Light," an 1893 lithograph by Alexandre Lunois, depicts a woman standing on a balcony, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun. Her contemplative pose and the sheet music in her hand suggest a moment of artistic inspiration. Lunois's use of vibrant colors and delicate linework creates a sense of intimacy and poetic melancholy, characteristic of his artistic style. The print is part of the "L'Estampe Originale" series, a collaborative venture between renowned artists and printers that aimed to revive traditional printmaking techniques. "The Light" is a compelling example of Lunois's mastery of color lithography and his ability to capture the fleeting beauty of everyday moments.
