EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Pieter Codde's masterpiece, "A seated Lady seen from Behind before a Virginal". The oil on panel painting, measuring 40.3x31.7 cm, showcases a Dutch woman engrossed in her music-making. Set against a black background, the artist skillfully portrays the female figure with intricate details and vibrant colors. The composition highlights the back view of the lady as she sits gracefully before a virginal, a type of keyboard instrument popular during that era. Her posture exudes elegance and concentration while her attire reflects the fashion of seventeenth-century Europe. The lace collar and neckwear add an exquisite touch to her ensemble. The image also emphasizes the importance of music in this period, as it was not only considered a form of entertainment but also an expression of one's artistic abilities. The presence of the stringed instrument further enhances this theme. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to appreciate Codde's mastery in capturing human emotions and his attention to detail. It is evident that he was able to create an intimate scene that invites viewers to imagine themselves present within it. This print serves as a testament to both Codde's talent as well as Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving and sharing exceptional works from art history for generations to come.
