EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, depicting Adolf and Catharina Croeser, famously known as The Burgomaster of Delft and his daughter. The scene unfolds on the picturesque streets of Oude Delft, where a man dressed in somber black sits on the sidewalk of a charming house. Clutching a letter in his left hand, he exudes an air of contemplation. Stepping down the same sidewalk is a young girl adorned in opulent attire, likely his daughter. Her richly dressed figure stands out against the backdrop of faded clothing worn by an old woman who approaches them with a little boy by her side. It is evident that social contrasts are at play here - the stark divide between wealth and poverty. Intriguingly, this image also offers glimpses into daily life during that era. The towering presence of Oude Kerk looms behind them, symbolizing tradition and stability amidst societal disparities. Meanwhile, cut flowers arranged into nosegays add color to this street tableau. Painted by Jan Havicksz Steen in 1655 using oil paint on canvas, this remarkable portrait measures 106 cm in height by 96 cm width with a depth of 8 cm. It beautifully encapsulates not only the father-daughter bond but also serves as an allegory for class divisions within society. The Liszt Collection presents this mesmerizing piece from their archives without any commercial intentions; rather it seeks to celebrate historical artistry and storytelling through visual imagery.
