EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing print titled "A woman delouses a man" by Quint Lox, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate and somewhat comical scene. The image captures the essence of daily life during the 17th century, where personal hygiene was not always a priority. The setting takes place in a rustic barn, with tobacco pipes scattered around and smoke lingering in the air. A man sits on a stool, engrossed in his pipe smoking ritual while lice crawl through his hair. Seated behind him is a determined woman, diligently removing these pesky insects from his scalp. As we observe this peculiar interaction, it becomes evident that there is more than just delousing going on here. The woman's gaze suggests she may have deeper feelings for the man as she watches him intently. Meanwhile, he seems oblivious to her presence as he enjoys his pipe and perhaps even indulges in some drink nearby. Jan van Somer and Willem Basse skillfully capture this moment with their artistic collaboration between photography and painting techniques. Through their lens, they invite us to reflect upon the intricacies of human relationships and the mundane yet necessary tasks that bind us together. Quint Lox's interpretation of this historical scene adds another layer of depth to our understanding of societal norms and customs from centuries past. This print serves as both an educational piece and an amusing glimpse into our shared history.
