EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Man with a Fiddle in Bad Company" we are transported to a lively scene set in front of an inn. A cheerful man, engrossed in playing his violin, sits at a table while being attended by an old woman who hands him a glass and playfully holds up a mill. However, unbeknownst to the musician, a young woman seated next to him is cunningly stealing money from his purse as she pretends to follow along with her songbook. To the right of this mischievous act, another young man leisurely observes the scene while puffing on his pipe. The artist behind this intriguing composition is Jan Havicksz Steen or someone copying his style between 1670 and 1700. This piece showcases Steen's mastery in capturing human emotions and storytelling through art. The use of oil paint on panel adds depth and richness to the colors, enhancing our immersion into this vibrant tavern atmosphere. As we gaze upon this print from the Liszt Collection, we can't help but wonder about the dynamics among these characters - their relationships and intentions hidden beneath their expressions. This artwork serves as both entertainment and reminder that appearances can be deceiving; even amidst cheerful melodies, one must remain cautious of those around them.
