EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Embracing Couple (Mercury and Lara?)" by Jan Harmensz. Muller, a renowned Dutch artist from the 16th century. The piece, created between 1588 and 1594, is an enchanting depiction of love and intimacy. Using black chalk, pen and brown ink, Muller skillfully brings this scene to life on light brown paper measuring 18.7 x 21.7 cm. The couple in the drawing appears deeply connected as they embrace each other tenderly. While it is uncertain whether they represent Mercury and Lara or another pair altogether, their affectionate pose evokes a sense of timeless romance. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; he enhances the composition with delicate brushwork using brown washes that add depth and dimension to the figures' forms. Furthermore, white gouache highlights are masterfully applied to create subtle contrasts that enhance the overall visual impact. This remarkable print from Liszt Collection offers viewers a glimpse into Muller's artistic genius during his prime years as an accomplished Dutch painter. It serves as a testament to his ability to capture human emotions with such grace and sensitivity
