Cornelis Saftleven Gorinchem Outdoors Rotterdam Black Chalk

EDITORS COMMENTS
This black chalk drawing from the 17th century, titled "Boy Sleeping Outdoors" is a remarkable piece of art that transports us back in time. The artist, Cornelis Saftleven, a renowned Dutch painter born in Gorinchem in 1607, showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail through this exquisite work. The scene depicts a young boy peacefully sleeping amidst nature's embrace. His delicate features are beautifully captured with meticulous strokes of black chalk on the sheet measuring approximately 6 5/16 x 10 1/2 inches (16.267 cm). Saftleven's ability to convey the tranquility and innocence of childhood is truly remarkable. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost feel the gentle breeze rustling through the trees and hear the distant sounds of chirping birds. The boy's slumber seems undisturbed by any worries or cares as he rests under an open sky. "Boy Sleeping Outdoors" not only serves as a testament to Saftleven's artistic prowess but also offers us a glimpse into life during the Dutch Golden Age. It reminds us of simpler times when children could freely explore nature without distractions from modern technology. This print from Liszt Collection allows art enthusiasts and history lovers alike to appreciate Saftleven's mastery even centuries after its creation. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers, making it an invaluable addition to any collection or display dedicated to preserving our rich cultural heritage.
