EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment from the feigned sadness scene in David Lingelbach's comic masterpiece, "The Discovered Mock Joy". In this eleventh scene of the first company, we witness Geertruy bidding farewell to her husband Filibert as he embarks on a business trip. However, unbeknownst to Filibert, his servant Joris has just revealed that Geertruy is involved in an illicit affair with his own cousin. Geertruy's face reflects genuine sorrow as she says goodbye to her unsuspecting husband. The complexity of emotions is further accentuated by the presence of Bely, their maid, who subtly mocks Filibert by gesturing two fingers near her head—a symbol of being deceived and cuckolded. Cornelis Troost skillfully portrays this dramatic moment using pastels on paper. The composition beautifully captures the characters' postures and gestures; Geertruy's tearful eyes and waving hand convey both longing and guilt while Filibert appears oblivious to the truth. This artwork belongs to a remarkable collection showcasing scenes from various comedies. It explores themes such as infidelity and deception through subtle nuances like index finger and middle finger gestures. As you gaze upon this print, immerse yourself in the intricate storytelling woven within each brushstroke. Feel the weight of emotions conveyed through facial expressions and body language—each element contributing to Lingelbach's timeless exploration of human folly.
