EDITORS COMMENTS
In this color lithograph, we are transported into the world of William Makepeace Thackeray's iconic novel, "Vanity Fair". The scene depicted is a pivotal moment in the story where Old Sir Pitt proposes to Becky Sharp, and half her secret is disclosed. The artist, Charles Crombie, masterfully captures the tension and intrigue of this dramatic encounter. The vibrant colors bring to life the opulence and grandeur of the era while also hinting at the hidden complexities beneath its surface. Becky Sharp stands before us with an enigmatic expression on her face. Is it surprise? Fear? Perhaps a mix of both as she grapples with revealing only half of her secret to Old Sir Pitt. Her posture suggests a sense of vulnerability yet determination as she carefully chooses her words. Old Sir Pitt looms over Becky, his aged features etched with anticipation. His proposal hangs in the air like a delicate thread connecting their fates. Will he accept what little information has been shared or demand more? This print serves as a visual invitation for readers and art enthusiasts alike to delve into Thackeray's timeless tale of ambition, love, and deceit within English society. It encapsulates not only key themes from "Vanity Fair" but also showcases Crombie's skill in capturing complex emotions through his brushstrokes. As we gaze upon this artwork, we cannot help but be drawn into its narrative web - eagerly awaiting resolution while savoring every twist and turn along the way
