EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautifully crafted tabouret or low stool with a transparent screen adorned with exquisite embroidered flowers. The delicate floral pattern, meticulously created by the skilled hands of an 18th-century artist, adds an enchanting touch to this piece of furniture. Handcoloured copperplate engraving by D. Sluyter after an illustration by Cornelis Borsteegh, this artwork is part of Anna Barbara van Meertens' Penelope, Or Maandwerk aan het Vrouwelijk Geslacht Toegewijd (Penelope, Monthly Magazine dedicated to the Female Sex), published in Amsterdam in 1821. Van Meerten herself was not only an educator and writer but also a pioneer in women's rights in Holland. The stool's transparent screen allows for glimpses into its interior design while showcasing the intricate needlework that adorns it. This combination of craft and artistry makes it a true masterpiece. With its botanical-inspired motifs and attention to detail, this stool exemplifies the fusion between functionality and beauty that characterizes Dutch furniture from this era. It serves as both a practical seating option and an aesthetically pleasing addition to any space. This print offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating the talent and creativity of those who contributed to its creation. It reminds us of the importance of preserving traditional craftsmanship and appreciating the art forms that have shaped our cultural heritage throughout time.
