EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Pieter Hoeveafter's masterpiece, "Portrait of Mothers, Servants, and Children of the Leprooshuis in Rotterdam". Painted with meticulous detail on a rectangular wood panel using oil, this group portrait showcases the lives of individuals residing in the Provenierswijk area during the year 1630. In this scene, three women are prominently featured, one seated while two servants stand nearby. Surrounding them are eleven children, some holding salve pots and collection boxes used for fundraising. The presence of lazaruskleps (a type of crutch) indicates that some individuals may have been affected by leprosy. The composition offers glimpses into daily life within the institution as a small dog peeks out from behind a partially visible door. On the table lies a pair of scissors and ointment jars, suggesting medical care being provided to those in need. A striking element is the full-width white-gray band painted about 10 centimeters high at the bottom edge. This unique addition adds depth to an already richly detailed landscape. Pieter Hoeveafter's skillful portrayal not only highlights individual features but also conveys emotions and stories within each subject. Through this artwork, we gain insight into healthcare practices and social dynamics prevalent during that era in Rotterdam.
