EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Old woman by candlelight" we are transported back in time to a mysterious and intriguing scene. The anonymous print maker, Albert Haelwegh, skillfully captures the essence of darkness and solitude within an intimate interior setting. The old woman takes center stage, her weathered hand gently holding a flickering candle that casts eerie shadows across the room. Her face is illuminated by the soft glow, revealing wrinkles etched with wisdom and experience. Behind her, months personifications adorn the wall, reminding us of the passing of time. A table adorned with a skull and hourglass symbolizes mortality while adding an air of melancholy to the composition. A buck's head mounted on the wall gazes upon this somber tableau from its niche as if guarding secrets lost to history. An owl perched above seems to observe it all with wise eyes, perhaps representing knowledge or hidden truths. A tablet rests on the table bearing inscriptions in French—a cryptic clue left for us to decipher. Quint Lox's masterful capture transports us into this enigmatic world where ideas linger in every corner. Through his lens, he invites us to contemplate our own mortality and reflect upon life's fleeting moments captured within Albert Haelwegh's timeless print.
