EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Jan Jacob Momma, a prominent Dutch merchant from 1737 to 1792. The painting depicts him in silhouette and gouache on ivory, measuring a mere 5.3 cm (2 inches) in height and 4.3 cm (1.6 inches) in width. Jan Jacob Momma's life is beautifully encapsulated within this miniature artwork. Notably, he was married twice; his first wife being Cornelia Wilhelmina Van Sonsbeeck and his second wife Henrietta Maria Vosmaer. This portrait serves as a testament to their union and the love they shared. The inscription on the painting reads "IL ME RESTERA CHER, LA MORT NOUS" which translates to "I will remain dear to you until death". These heartfelt words further emphasize the deep bond between Jan Jacob Momma and his beloved wives. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece of art, we are transported back in time to an era where elegance and refinement reigned supreme. It is truly remarkable how such intricate details can be captured on such a small canvas. The Liszt Collection has once again curated an extraordinary piece that not only celebrates the life of Jan Jacob Momma but also reminds us of the beauty found within historical artifacts.
