EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Portrait of Eva Fliegen, who lived for seventeen years on the scent of flowers" takes us back to a bygone era where beauty and mystery intertwined. The 19th-century English School artist skillfully captures the essence of Eva Fliegen, a woman whose life was intimately connected with the fragrant world of flowers. In this portrait, we see Eva's delicate features illuminated by soft light, her eyes gazing into the distance as if lost in reverie. Her flowing hair is adorned with floral ornaments, symbolizing her deep connection to nature's wonders. The intricate details in this engraving bring forth an air of elegance and grace that befits such a remarkable story. Eva Fliegen's extraordinary existence is revealed through this artwork - she spent seventeen years immersed in the intoxicating scents emanating from blossoms. This unique lifestyle choice undoubtedly set her apart from society at large and sparked curiosity among those who encountered her. Commissioned for The Picture Magazine in 1895, this illustration transports us back to a time when fascination with unusual lives was at its peak. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our endless quest for understanding the mysteries that surround us. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let it remind us of our own connection to nature's wonders and inspire us to seek out extraordinary experiences that enrich our lives.
