EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate moment of a young woman's daily routine. Sitting on the edge of her bed, she delicately pulls a stocking over her right foot, her head adorned with a graceful headscarf and wrapped snugly in a fur trimmed jacket. The soft glow of oil paint brings warmth to the scene as we notice a peaceful slumbering dog resting on the pillow beside her. The room is scattered with remnants of undressing oneself - two slippers lay abandoned on the floor while a chamber-pot discreetly sits nearby. The artist, Jan Havicksz. Steen, masterfully captures the vulnerability and familiarity of this private act, reminding us that even mundane tasks hold their own beauty. As our eyes wander through this composition, we can't help but appreciate the intricate details showcased by Steen's brushstrokes - from the texture of fur used for clothing to stockings carefully being put on. This artwork serves as an exquisite representation not only of fashion during that era but also offers us glimpses into domestic life centuries ago. This print invites us to reflect upon our own routines and find appreciation in everyday moments often taken for granted. It reminds us that art has an incredible power to transcend time and connect us with human experiences across generations.
