EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a drawing titled "Seated woman with playing cards" created in 1669 by a pupil of Gerard ter Borch II. The artwork is currently housed in the Albertina Museum in Vienna, as part of the book "Europaische Handzeichnungen" by Bernhard Degenhart. In this intriguing piece, we see a female figure engrossed in a game of cards. Her profile is delicately sketched with chalk, showcasing the artist's mastery of detail. The woman sits elegantly, her posture conveying both concentration and relaxation simultaneously. The image transports us back to the 17th century Netherlands, where card games were popular pastimes among both men and women. The simplicity of black and white adds an air of timelessness to this scene from centuries ago. Through this drawing, we catch a glimpse into the leisurely activities enjoyed by people during that era. It reminds us that despite being separated by hundreds of years, our human nature remains unchanged - seeking entertainment and connection through shared experiences. As we contemplate this artwork, it serves as a reminder that art has the power to bridge gaps between different periods in history. It allows us to appreciate the beauty found within everyday moments captured on paper or canvas.
