"Curiosity" is a notable painting by the Italian-Austrian artist Eugene de Blaas, also known as Eugenio de Blaas or Eugen von Blaas, created for the Pears Annual Christmas edition in 1892. Born in Albano, near Rome, to Austrian parents, de Blaas established himself as a prominent figure in the Venetian school of painting, with his works often reflecting the daily life and culture of Venice during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. "Curiosity" exemplifies de Blaas's adeptness at capturing the nuances of human expressions and interactions, set against the backdrop of Venetian society.

The painting features a young Venetian woman, embodying the artist's frequent focus on beauty, youth, and innocence. The title "Curiosity" suggests an exploration of the subject's inquisitive nature, possibly depicted through her engagement with an unseen object or person outside the canvas, inviting viewers to ponder the focus of her attention. De Blaas's skillful use of light, color, and texture enhances the realism and depth of the composition, making it a compelling representation of the era's artistic and cultural sensibilities.

Commissioned for the Pears Annual, a publication known for showcasing works by distinguished artists to accompany its Christmas editions, "Curiosity" reflects the Victorian era's appreciation for art that combines aesthetic beauty with narrative depth. The inclusion of de Blaas's work in the Pears Annual underscores his international recognition and the widespread appeal of his artistry.

Today, "Curiosity" is celebrated not only for its artistic merit but also for providing insight into the historical and social context of Venice at the turn of the century. It remains a testament to Eugene de Blaas's legacy as a masterful painter of Venetian life and culture.
