EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable bust of a woman from the 17th century. The woman's wide-open mouth, with teeth slightly exposed, adds an intriguing touch to her already striking appearance. Her long curly hair gracefully falls over her shoulders, framing her face beautifully. She is depicted in profile, facing towards the left side of the image. Dressed in a low-cut gown adorned with a delicate ribbon around her waist, this bohemian beauty exudes elegance and allure. The etching technique used by Wenceslaus Hollar brings out intricate details on the woman's face and dress, highlighting his exceptional artistic skills. As we gaze upon this piece from the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, we are transported back in time to witness the artistry of Leonardo da Vinci himself. Although not created by Da Vinci directly, Hollar pays homage to this legendary artist through his meticulous craftsmanship. The grotesque yet mesmerizing nature of this artwork leaves us captivated as we ponder its meaning and significance within 17th-century society. This photograph print serves as a testament to Hollar's talent for capturing human form and expression. With every glance at this enigmatic portrait, one can't help but be drawn into its mysterious charm—a timeless representation that continues to intrigue viewers even centuries later.
