EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming 19th-century print by Abraham van Strij, we are transported to a quaint Dutch courtyard where parents lovingly teach their daughter a song. The scene is filled with warmth and familial harmony as the family engages in this musical tradition. The father, dressed in traditional Dutch clothing and wooden clogs, sits on a stool while holding sheet music. With his gentle guidance, he helps his daughter find her voice as she eagerly follows along. The mother stands nearby, also captivated by the melody flowing from her husband's vocal chords. Surrounded by their pet piglets frolicking about, it becomes evident that music is not only shared among humans but also enjoyed by animals. This whimsical touch adds an element of joy and playfulness to the image. Abraham van Strij skillfully captures the essence of this tender moment through delicate watercolor strokes that bring life to each member of this Netherlandish family. Their expressions reflect both concentration and delight as they bond over the power of song. This artwork serves as a testament to the importance of passing down traditions through generations and cherishing moments spent together. It reminds us that music has always been an integral part of our lives, connecting us across time and cultures.
