EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Seated Woman Searching for Fleas, c. 1671 - A Glimpse into Everyday Life in the 17th Century". This print captures a remarkable drawing by Adriaen van de Velde, a renowned Dutch artist of the 17th century. Titled "Seated Woman Searching for Fleas" this artwork offers us an intimate glimpse into the daily life of that era. The image showcases a woman seated on a wooden stool, engrossed in her task of searching for fleas on her clothing. With delicate strokes and intricate detailing, Van de Velde skillfully portrays her concentration and determination as she meticulously inspects every fold and seam. Executed with red chalk over black chalk, the drawing is framed by lines in brown ink that add depth to the composition. The use of these materials creates a striking contrast between light and shadow, enhancing the realism of the scene. Preserved within The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection, this piece exemplifies Van de Velde's mastery in capturing ordinary moments with extraordinary artistry. It serves as a testament to his ability to elevate seemingly mundane activities into timeless works of beauty. Through this print from Heritage Art/Heritage Images, we are transported back in time to witness an everyday occurrence during the Dutch Golden Age. It reminds us that even simple acts can hold profound meaning when observed through an artist's discerning eye.
