EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the Liszt Collection. Titled "Head old man Bust left head Abraham painting" it depicts an exquisite portrait of an elderly man's head, positioned to the left side. The inspiration for this artwork stems from Caspar Netscher's famous painting featuring Abraham and Sara introducing Hagar. The attention to detail in this miniature portrait is truly astonishing. Crafted with ivory, metal, and glass, it measures approximately 6 cm in diameter and 6.9 cm in height, with a depth of only 0.4 cm. This delicate work of art transports us back to France between the years 1700 and 1780 when anonymous artists skillfully brought biblical stories to life through their creations. The juxtaposition of age and wisdom is beautifully captured in the weathered features of the old man's face. Each wrinkle tells a story, reflecting a lifetime filled with experiences and hardships. As we gaze into his eyes, we can almost sense his profound knowledge and deep contemplation. This print serves as a testament to the power of portraiture as well as its ability to transcend time and space. It invites us to ponder upon our own existence while marveling at the artistic brilliance that immortalizes fleeting moments on canvas or ivory
