EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the workshop of Jacob de Gheyn II, we are transported to a world of mystery and revelry. A woman dressed festively catches our eye with her vibrant attire, while a man in a cape exudes an air of elegance and intrigue. But it is the masked man who steals the show, extending his left arm in a sweeping gesture that commands attention. This scene hints at a masquerade or masked ball, where individuals don elaborate costumes to conceal their true identities. The hat-clad figures surrounding them add to the sense of spectacle and celebration. Each character seems to have their own unique story to tell within this nutshell of festivities. The print captures a moment frozen in time - ten card-playing figures engaged in conversation or perhaps plotting mischief behind their disguises. The composition is masterfully executed by de Gheyn II, showcasing his talent for capturing intricate details and conveying emotion through art. Quint Lox's interpretation of this remarkable piece invites us into its world, inviting us to imagine ourselves among these costumed figures. It reminds us that there is beauty in anonymity and joy in embracing the spirit of celebration.
