More about this artwork

"Der kleine Lakai" (The Little Page) by Ernst Stern, painted in 1912, is a captivating illustration showcasing a young page boy in colorful, elaborate attire. Characterized by its attention to detailed costume and expressive posture, the painting features the boy adorned in a traditional 17th-century page outfit comprising a multi-layered outfit with ruffles, bows, and patterned fabrics in shades of orange, blue, and white. He holds a large ceremonial lance or staff, presenting an air of youthful duty and cheerfulness.This piece nuances Stern’s penchant for theatrical and cinematic costume design, using vivacious colors and meticulous line work to enhance the playful yet solemn demeanor of the young page. It's an enchanting visual study in how attire plays into the perception of roles within historical and societal contexts, making it a valuable addition to any art collection reflecting on history, society, and costume design.
