EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, created by IF Clemens in 1795, we are transported back to the vibrant streets of Portugal during the 18th century. The focal point of the image is a Portuguese merchant, standing tall and proud alongside his wife and maidservant. Dressed in traditional attire, their clothing reflects the fashion trends of the time. The couple's Christian faith is evident as they both wear crucifixes around their necks. Their garments exude elegance and sophistication, with intricate details adorning their cloaks and dresses. The maidservant stands dutifully beside them, her presence highlighting the social hierarchy within Portuguese society. This print offers us a glimpse into not only their occupation but also their way of life. As a merchant, this man played an essential role in trade and commerce within his country. His marriage symbolizes unity and partnership while emphasizing societal expectations during that era. IF Clemens skillfully captures these individuals' essence through his engraving technique, showcasing their religious devotion, profession, and status within society. This monochrome masterpiece serves as a testament to Portugal's rich cultural heritage during the eighteenth century. As we admire this historical artwork from Heritage Images' collection curated by Print Collector15 (not affiliated with any commercial use), we are reminded of how art can transport us across time to witness moments frozen forever on paper by talented creators like IF Clemens
