Visit to the New Mother, 1633 - A Glimpse into Domestic Life in 17th Century France
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a scene from Abraham Bosse's engraving titled "Visit to the New Mother, 1633". Stepping back in time, we find ourselves immersed in a quaint French bedroom where an intimate conversation unfolds. In this country house setting, we witness a group of female guests engaging with the new mother who lies peacefully on a four-poster bed. The room exudes simplicity and elegance as sunlight streams through the window, casting gentle shadows on the walls adorned with intricate engravings. The women are engrossed in conversation while one guest attentively sews by her side, her sewing basket resting nearby. Their presence creates an atmosphere of warmth and support for the new mother during her lying-in period after childbirth. Abraham Bosse masterfully captures both the physical space and emotional connection within this domestic scene. Through his meticulous etching technique, every detail is brought to life – from the architectural elements of the building to each individual's facial expression. As viewers, we are transported back centuries ago, gaining insight into family dynamics and social customs of that era. This remarkable artwork serves as a testament to Bosse's talent as well as providing us with valuable glimpses into our rich heritage.
