EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Smoking farmer, Abraham Bloteling, 1655-1690" captures the essence of a bygone era. The image showcases a male figure, presumably Abraham Bloteling himself, engrossed in his pipe smoking ritual. Dressed in traditional farming attire, he exudes an air of ruggedness and authenticity. The composition is beautifully framed by a window opening, allowing natural light to cascade onto the scene. Through this casement hatch, we catch a glimpse of the outside world - perhaps symbolizing the farmer's connection with nature and his role as a steward of the land. Bloteling holds his pipe with familiarity and ease while cradling a goblet in his other hand. This juxtaposition between tobacco and drink hints at moments of respite amidst hard work – indulging in simple pleasures that bring solace after laborious days on the farm. The artist Quint Lox skillfully captures every intricate detail: from the weathered lines etched on Bloteling's face to the worn-out texture of his clothing. These elements serve as reminders of time's passage and lend depth to this evocative portrait. "Smoking farmer" is part of an impressive collection featuring eight prints by Van Ostade that showcase various aspects of rural life during that period. This particular piece stands out for its ability to transport viewers back in time and immerse them into an intimate moment shared between man and tobacco. In summary, Quint Lox's photo
