EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene of elegance and amusement as an elegant company engages in the game of La Main Chaude within the confines of a lavish interior. Painted by Christoffel Jacobsz van der Lamen, this oil on panel artwork measures 58.4x89.7 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Intriguingly, one player is blindfolded, adding an element of mystery to the game. With their hand extended behind their back, they must rely solely on touch to guess who slaps their hand. The atmosphere exudes flirtatiousness and leisure, with individuals bending forward in anticipation while others observe with curiosity. The baroque setting further enhances the ambiance of this social gathering, depicting society life during that era. The participants are engrossed in playful entertainment, enjoying each other's company amidst laughter and camaraderie. Notably present are elements such as walking sticks or canes which were fashionable accessories at the time. These details contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal and historical significance of this painting. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this moment from art history through photography, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details even today. This print serves as a delightful reminder of pastimes enjoyed by both male and female members of society during that period - where elegance met playfulness in perfect harmony.
