EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1861, we are transported to a corner room in Amsterdam where an old woman diligently spins wool. With her glasses clamped at the tip of her nose, she expertly maneuvers the spinning wheel, creating delicate threads of yarn. The reel hanging on the wall serves as a reminder of her skill and dedication to the craft. The artist, Christiaan Lodewijk van Kesteren, beautifully captures the essence of this scene through his meticulous steel engraving technique. Every detail is brought to life on paper, showcasing the spider-like movements of the old woman as she weaves her magic. This image evokes a sense of nostalgia and admiration for traditional craftsmanship. It reminds us of simpler times when everyday tasks were carried out with patience and precision. The room itself exudes warmth and coziness, inviting us to imagine ourselves sitting beside the old woman as she works. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Liszt Collection, we can't help but appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity throughout time - reminding us that even in our modern world, there is beauty in simplicity and tradition.
