EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fable / the Maiden" transports us back to a bygone era, specifically the 17th century. The image depicts a beautiful yet proud maiden who has turned down countless suitors for not meeting her lofty standards. As time passes, her beauty begins to fade and with it, the suitors slowly disappear from her life.
The historical significance of this piece is evident in every detail - from the intricate clothing worn by the maiden to the elaborate fontaine in the background. It serves as a reminder of how myths and fables have been used throughout history to impart moral lessons and cautionary tales.
The woman at the center of this fable is portrayed with an air of regal elegance, her expression conveying both pride and vulnerability. Her story unfolds before our eyes, illustrating the consequences of vanity and superficiality.
This print captures a moment frozen in time, inviting viewers to reflect on themes of beauty, aging, and self-worth. It serves as a poignant reminder that true value lies not in outward appearances but in inner qualities such as humility and kindness.
Overall, "Fable / The Maiden" is a thought-provoking work that transcends its historical context to resonate with audiences today.
