The Sick Girl
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and satirical masterpiece that transports us to the Dutch Golden Age. In this oil painting by Jan Havicksz Steen, we are invited into a curtained bedroom where a young girl languishes on her bed, surrounded by an array of comical characters. The focal point of the scene is the doctor, dressed in old-fashioned attire that adds to his comedic character. He examines the girl with exaggerated gestures while she pretends to suffer from a wandering womb – an ailment believed to be cured only through sleeping with her lover. This playful parody highlights societal beliefs and superstitions of the time. Steen's attention to detail shines through in every aspect of this domestic setting. The seventeenth-century furniture and furnishings create an authentic atmosphere, immersing us in this humorous yet relatable scene. The artist's use of light and shadow further enhances the depth and realism of the composition. "The Sick Girl" not only showcases Steen's artistic talent but also serves as social commentary on medical practices during this era. It exposes quackery through its portrayal of a charlatan doctor, challenging traditional notions surrounding diagnosis and treatment. This print captures all these elements beautifully, allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Steen's wit and skill. Whether you admire it for its historical significance or simply enjoy its humor, "The Sick Girl" remains an iconic piece from Holland's rich artistic heritage.
