EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print captures "The Sick Woman" painted by Alexander Hugo Bakker-Korff in 1866. The oil on wood masterpiece measures 21 x 27 cm and is currently housed in the Kunstmuseum in Basel, Switzerland. This Dutch artwork showcases a satirical portrayal of a sick woman, highlighting the artist's keen sense of humor. In this scene, we see an elderly woman seated beside a boiling kettle, surrounded by various medical items and food. Her ridiculous cap adds to the overall humorous tone of the painting. A mirror reflects her image, emphasizing her femininity while also inviting viewers to question societal expectations placed upon women during that era. Bakker-Korff's satire cleverly ridicules traditional notions of female health and medicine in the Netherlands at that time. Through his brushstrokes, he challenges stereotypes associated with nursing and invalidism. "The Sick Woman" invites us to contemplate how society perceives illness and care for women. It serves as a reminder that even though this painting was created over a century ago, many aspects still resonate today regarding gender roles within healthcare. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate Bakker-Korff's artistic brilliance while contemplating the social commentary embedded within his work.
