EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this timeless print from the Liszt Collection is a poignant scene titled 'Old Woman Reading. ' The image portrays an elderly woman, comfortably seated in a chair, engrossed in the pages of an open book resting on her lap. Her weathered hands delicately hold a pair of glasses, momentarily abandoned as she gazes ahead with contemplation. The setting exudes an air of tranquility and intellectual curiosity. A table adorned with a chest and various books stands to her left, symbolizing a lifetime of accumulated knowledge and wisdom. Behind her hangs an exquisite painting veiled by a gentle curtain, hinting at the woman's appreciation for artistry. Painted by George Gillis Haanen in 1834 using oil on panel technique, this masterpiece measures 31.5 cm in height, 25 cm in width, and 9.5 cm in depth. Its small dimensions only enhance its intimacy and draw viewers into the world of the old woman's thoughts. This print captures not just one moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions that transcend generations. It serves as a reminder that age does not diminish one's thirst for knowledge or their ability to find solace within literature’s embrace.
