Candle Framing Line Godfried Schalcken Holding Late 17th Century Made Table The Hague Black Chalk Brown Ink
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to the late 17th century, immersing us in the beauty and elegance of that era. The image depicts a young woman seated at a table, her delicate features illuminated by the warm glow of a candle she holds in her hand. Her gaze is fixed on something beyond our view, perhaps lost in thought or captivated by an unseen object. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of black chalk and pen with brown ink. A subtle framing line adds depth to the composition, drawing our eyes towards the central figure. The sheet measures approximately 10 3/16 x 8 1/8 inches (259 x 207 cm), showcasing both the skill and precision of Godfried Schalcken, a renowned Dutch artist who made his mark between 1643 and 1706. Schalcken's expertise shines through as he captures not only the physical likeness but also conveys a sense of intimacy and mystery within this scene. The young woman's posture exudes grace while her expression hints at hidden emotions waiting to be unveiled. This remarkable piece invites us into a world long gone yet preserved through art. It serves as a testament to Schalcken's talent and reminds us of how art has always been able to transcend time, allowing us glimpses into different eras and connecting us with those who came before us.
