In the late 16th century, a servante was more than just a servant girl or chambermaid. She represented the hardworking peasants who labored tirelessly to maintain the grandeur of their masters' households. The engraving of a Servante Mexicaine captures this essence, showcasing the dedication and resilience of these women. Fast forward to 1822, where Jenny Vertpre embodied the character of Michelette in La Servante Justifiee. Her portrayal shed light on the complexities faced by servantes as they navigated societal expectations and personal aspirations. A Servant in a Striped Apron, painted in 1916, immortalizes another aspect of servitude. This oil on canvas artwork depicts an anonymous servant going about her daily chores with grace and dignity. Bathsheba at her Toilet is an intriguing piece that delves into themes beyond mere servitude. Painted on canvas during an unknown time period, it explores Bathsheba's vulnerability and sensuality while also highlighting her position as a lady's maid. The Ladys Maid further emphasizes the social hierarchy prevalent during its creation on canvas. It showcases how different positions for women existed within society during that era - some fortunate enough to be served while others were servants themselves. Late 19th-century engravings titled Different Social Positions of Women provide insight into various roles occupied by women at that time. Among them are those who found themselves as dedicated servants, diligently attending to their mistresses' needs. Servant cutting the nails of his mistress is captured beautifully in Bartsch 127 print. It exemplifies both trust and intimacy between servant and mistress—a relationship built upon years spent together under one roof. Agar returned by Abraham presents yet another facet of servitude—loyalty rewarded through acts such as returning Hagar to Abraham after she had been cast out with Ishmael. The morning.
