About the artwork

In this scene of elegance and enchantment she stands there, a woman enveloped in the grand splendour of Victorian fashion, her dress a nod to the opulence of Louis XIV. The dress, oh that dress, a symphony of luxury and refinement, falls in rich fabrics of lace and satin, intricate patterns dancing on it like whispers from a bygone era. Her presence, both impressive and serene, is crowned by a towering white wig, carefully styled, giving her a regal look.

But then, in her delicate hand, rests an orange. Yes, a perfect, vibrant orange. This single, absurd detail-so simple, so unexpected-breaks the spell of historical precision and injects a moment of playfulness into the scene. It contrasts sharply with her classical grace, a bright accent against the muted elegance of her ensemble.

The photographic style captures this timeless elegance, every detail a testament to the care and artistry put into it-from the glossy folds of her robe to the texture of the orange. This image, this captivating mix of Victorian and Louis XIV influences, infused with the absurdity of a piece of fruit, creates a scene that is both fascinating and surreal. It draws you in, makes you reflect on the interplay of eras, styles and the delicious absurdity that can be found in the most unexpected places.
