EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to the year 1779, where a couple is engrossed in counting their wealth by the soft glow of candlelight. Painted by Michiel Versteegh, this panel captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the intimate setting of an opulent interior. The room is adorned with exquisite details - from the majestic grandfather clock standing tall against the wall to the intricate statue delicately placed on a pedestal. A richly patterned curtain drapes gracefully behind them, adding an air of elegance and privacy to their task. The focus remains on the couple as they meticulously count their hoard of coins. The man's powdered wig and formal attire suggest his high social status while his companion exudes grace and poise. Their expressions reveal concentration and satisfaction as they handle each coin with care. This artwork not only showcases Versteegh's mastery in capturing light and texture but also provides us with a glimpse into Dutch society during that era. It serves as a reminder of how financial matters were managed before modern technology took over. Displayed at Johnny van Haeften Gallery in London, this print invites us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance. As we gaze upon it, we can't help but imagine ourselves stepping into that very room – witnessing firsthand this private moment between two individuals immersed in their own world of wealth and prosperity.
