EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Eslbeth Lochmann, wife of Jacob Schwytzer" is a stunning example of Renaissance artistry. Painted in 1564 by Tobias Stimmer, this oil on wood masterpiece measures an impressive 193.6x67.9 cm and is currently housed at the Kunstmuseum in Basel, Switzerland. The subject of the painting, Elsbeth Lochmann, was the wife of Jacob Schwytzer - a prominent figure in Zurich during that era. Elsbeth's regal presence is beautifully captured as she stands tall and proud in her elaborate costume. Her headdress adds an air of elegance to her appearance while her gloves and walking stick exude sophistication. Intriguing details can be found throughout the painting; from the keys hanging from Elsbeth's belt symbolizing her role as mistress of their household to the bag she carries with care. The inclusion of a pet dog further enhances the composition, showcasing not only wealth but also companionship. Notably, this artwork forms part of a diptych where another half can be found under XOS 3588555. This unique feature allows viewers to appreciate both sides when displayed together. Stimmer's attention to detail and skillful execution make this portrait truly remarkable. It serves as a memento mori - reminding us all that life is fleeting and should be cherished. Overall, this exquisite piece offers us a glimpse into Swiss history while celebrating beauty and grace through its meticulous craftsmanship
