@wannabetudor: This painting is really fascinating to me, especially because it was painted in 1750, a century not so kind to any people that weren’t a certain race. #painting #historytok #racism #message #HistoryTime #historytiktok #fyp
this piece is actually called "Two women gathering fruits". But Connecticut museum called signed it "Young woman with servant". So yall better go and ask that museum

also the servent is the one who would hold the fruit not the highborn. so look closely.

Let’s not forget the seated woman is using her dress as a basket for the fruit - she is serving the lady of the house 🥰💕

THE POINT IS is that we have been programmed to naturally assume the brown lady is the servant.

Not only that, but the hand placement. It’s a common signal of dominance to have your hand on someone else. Like a pet or a child. It’s ownership, possession and allowance.

why do neither of them actually look like a servant? one’s got a fancy hat & the other has pretty jewelry, and then the servant lady is sat and the rich lady is stood picking the fruit? who painted this?? 😭😭

I knew the black woman in this painting was wealthy without knowing the details.

Her name is Dido Elizabeth Belle. There’s a movie about her named “Belle” and it’s a beautiful movie!

The black woman looks young while the white woman looks in her 30s

That doesn’t fit the victim mentality though.

Back when art had meaning and one could interpret it in different ways, rather than some canvas painted blue and called ‘art’ not to be a hater but yk

But hear me out. Given timeframe. The darker woman is picking for the white woman, but they’re very close friends and intellectually move beyond the social norms, gathering together, and the darker lady’s hand on the fruit is symbolizing knowledge in reference to knowing that not one is above the other- linking to the casual hand placement and teamwork portrayed. 🤷🏼♀️a thought

oh and don't forget the black lady is higher than the white lady in the picture which was a way to show class difference back then if im not mistakenly

Hand on the shoulder shows who’s in power, also lady sitting is using her dress to collect the fruits,shows who’s serving.
