EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Woman Seated Window" takes us back to the early 1660s, capturing a moment frozen in time. Painted with oil on wood, this artwork measures 10 7/8 x 8 7/8 inches and is part of the Artokoloro collection. The image portrays a Dutch housewife seated by a window, her presence evoking feelings of tranquility and contemplation. Holding an apple in her hand, the context refers to both New Eve and the Virgin Mary, symbolizing themes of temptation and purity. The composition cleverly incorporates various elements that imply domestic bliss. A birdcage hangs nearby while a hearth crackles gently in the background, suggesting warmth and contentment. The grapevine crawling along the sides alludes to biblical references of woman as a fruitful vine within thine house (Psalm 128). Painted by Gabriel Metsu, a renowned Dutch artist from Leiden (1629-1667) who later settled in Amsterdam, this piece showcases his exceptional talent for capturing intimate moments with great detail. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork, we are transported to another era where simple pleasures were cherished. The woman's serene expression invites us to appreciate life's small joys amidst our busy modern world. This print from Liszt Collection serves as a beautiful reminder of the timeless beauty found within everyday moments.
