EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the intimate setting of an interior space. The focal point of the image is a man engrossed in his book, his lap serving as its resting place. Beside him sits his wife, skillfully spinning yarn on her trusty spinning wheel. Her hands delicately hold a reel and spool, expertly transforming raw material into thread. The room exudes warmth and domesticity with various objects scattered around. A colander filled with mussels rests on the floor, hinting at a delicious meal that awaits. Nearby lies a pipe and jug, perhaps indicative of leisurely pursuits enjoyed by the couple during their downtime. A bunch of vibrant carrots adds a touch of color to this rustic scene. As we look up towards the ceiling, our eyes are drawn to a birdcage hanging gracefully above them - an enchanting reminder of nature's presence within these walls. On one side of the room hangs an assortment of onions alongside essential tools like bellows, candlestick, and lantern - practical items necessary for daily life. Domenicus van Tol's masterful brushstrokes bring this 17th-century interior to life through panel and oil paint medium. This remarkable piece captures not only moments frozen in time but also evokes emotions tied to nostalgia and appreciation for simpler times when reading books and crafting were cherished pastimes within households.
