EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Sick Woman" we are transported to an intimate interior scene from the 17th century. The focus of the image is a young woman, visibly unwell, as she leans forward with her head resting on a soft pillow. A concerned doctor stands beside her, gently taking her pulse to assess her condition. The room itself exudes a sense of history and charm. In the background, we see a neatly made bed, inviting rest and comfort for the sick woman. On the wall hangs a lute and an elegant clock, hinting at both artistic pursuits and the passing of time. Intriguingly placed in the bottom left corner is a stew and test - perhaps indicating that this examination includes more than just checking vital signs. It suggests that various aspects of her health are being evaluated, such as urine samples or other diagnostic tests. This painting by Jan Havicksz Steen beautifully captures not only physical illness but also emotions associated with it. The patient's expression reflects feelings of nausea or giddiness (or possibly pregnancy), adding depth to our understanding of her suffering. Through its masterful use of oil paint on canvas, this artwork invites us into an empathetic exploration of human vulnerability and medical care during centuries past. It serves as a reminder that even in times long gone by, compassion and expertise were essential elements in treating those who fell ill.
