EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection captures a lively scene inside an inn, transporting us back to a bygone era. Two men engrossed in a game of Triktrak, a popular board game of the time, engage in an intense tug-of-war match. Their focused expressions and competitive spirit are palpable as they strategize their next move. Intriguingly, a third man watches them huddled closely, seemingly enthralled by the unfolding spectacle. His presence adds an air of anticipation and curiosity to the scene. Standing at the doorway is another figure who catches our attention—a man with a wooden leg. His stoic posture suggests resilience despite his physical challenges. The ambiance of this inn is further enhanced by elements such as backgammon boards and tric-trac sets scattered around the room, indicative of its reputation as a hub for gaming enthusiasts. The rustic charm and warmth exuded by this hostelry make it easy to imagine oneself stepping into this vibrant world centuries ago. Jan van der Bruggen's masterful depiction skillfully brings together various elements—human emotion, camaraderie, competition—to create an evocative snapshot frozen in time. This 1659 artwork on paper measures 178mm in height and 230mm in width
