EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Eva Flegen of Meurs" showcases the enigmatic figure of Eva Flegen at the age of 36. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 17th century, this portrait is now part of a private collection. Eva Flegen's story is as remarkable as her image suggests. According to legend, she spent an astonishing 14 years fasting without consuming any food or drink during that time. This extraordinary feat is said to have occurred during her early adulthood. In this half-length portrayal, Eva Flegen exudes an air of mystery and spirituality. Her delicate features are accentuated by the intricate details captured through expert engraving techniques. The artist skillfully conveys both her physical beauty and inner strength. The viewer cannot help but be captivated by Eva's intense gaze and serene expression, which seem to hint at the profound spiritual journey she embarked upon through her prolonged fast. While it remains unclear whether Eva's alleged fasting was indeed true or merely a myth created around her persona, this engraving immortalizes her enduring legacy. It serves as a testament to human resilience and our fascination with individuals who defy conventional limits. As we contemplate this intriguing artwork from centuries past, we are reminded of our own capacity for endurance and determination in the face of adversity – qualities that continue to inspire us today.
