EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a remarkable artwork titled "Portrait Adam Wachendorff Putto Blowing Bubbles". The painting depicts a man, believed to be Adam Wachendorff, standing beside a table with his upper body visible. In his right hand, he holds a letter while his left hand rests by his side. The table is adorned with various writing tools including paper, a pen, an inkwell, and even a watch. On the reverse side of this intriguing piece lies another delightful surprise - an enchanting landscape featuring a naked putto blowing bubbles. This whimsical scene includes historical figures, letters, envelopes, and more children or putti engaged in bubble-blowing activities. Symbolizing the concept of Vanitas or the transient nature of life's pleasures and possessions. Painted by Cornelis Ketel in London during 1574 using oil paint on panel canvas measuring approximately 50.3 cm in height and 48.6 cm in width; this masterpiece captures both artistic skill and imagination. The juxtaposition of the serious portrait alongside the playful putto blowing bubbles creates an interesting contrast that invites viewers to ponder deeper meanings within this composition. Whether it be contemplating mortality or simply appreciating the beauty of art itself; this print serves as an exquisite addition to any art enthusiast's collection.
