EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th or 17th century print, titled "Landscape with Two Women, a Greyhound and Cattle," is an enchanting work of art that showcases the rustic charm of rural life during the Dutch or Low Countries period. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, although it is believed to be the work of Abraham Bloemaert, a prominent Dutch painter and draftsman of the time. The composition of the print is a breathtaking landscape, featuring two women in traditional attire, engaged in a leisurely activity, possibly milking cows. A greyhound, the epitome of grace and agility, lies at their feet, its ears perked up in alertness. In the background, a serene countryside unfolds, with lush green fields, grazing cattle, and a clear blue sky adorned with fluffy clouds. The print is executed in pen and brown ink, with brown wash heightened with white on yellow paper, creating a monochrome palette that adds to the timeless charm of the artwork. The use of color would have been reserved for the original painting, if it indeed is a study or preparatory drawing for one. The intricate details in the print, from the textures of the women's clothing to the individual hairs on the greyhound's coat, reveal the artist's mastery of the medium. This print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Europe, specifically the Netherlands, and offers a glimpse into the rural life and regionalism of the time. The women in the print, with their calm demeanor and the gentle presence of the greyhound and cattle, evoke a sense of peace and tranquility, making this an enduring work of art that continues to captivate audiences even today.
