EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection depicts a dramatic scene unfolding on the water. In the foreground, we see a woman who has been shot, her expression filled with pain and fear. Beside her, another woman desperately tries to escape the chaotic situation, clearly terrified by what she has witnessed. On the quay stands a man holding both a burning torch and a gun in his hands, suggesting that he may be responsible for this violent act. The juxtaposition of these two objects creates an eerie atmosphere as darkness engulfs the scene. In the background, we catch sight of another rowing boat carrying men who also hold burning torches. Their presence adds to the sense of impending danger and violence that permeates this image. The details provided reveal that this artwork was created by Pieter Hendrik Jonxis between 1772 and 1843 in Utrecht. It is an etching on paper measuring approximately 219 mm in height and 142 mm in width. While it remains uncertain whether death occurred as a result of this shooting or if only injuries were sustained (as indicated by "EE - death not certain"), one cannot deny the intensity captured within this print. Its haunting portrayal leaves viewers pondering about what led to such tragedy and how it might have impacted those involved.
