EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled "Elderly Woman Sitting on an Upside Down Basket," is a graphite drawing on parchment by the renowned Dutch artist Pieter Jansz. Quast, created during the 17th century, also known as the Dutch Golden Age. The woman depicted in the drawing is shown seated on an upturned basket, her expression displaying a faraway, melancholic look. Her attire is typical of the era, with a voluminous, high-necked dress and a wide-brimmed hat adorned with ribbons. The monochromatic, black and white palette adds to the drawing's sense of timelessness and introspection. This artwork is a poignant representation of the heritage and fashion of the Low Countries during the 1600s. The upside-down basket could symbolize the woman's longing for the past or a sense of disillusionment with the present. The woman's wistful expression and the distant gaze further emphasize this interpretation. The drawing is a testament to the artistic mastery of Pieter Jansz. Quast, who was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the human condition with sensitivity and depth. This piece is now part of the esteemed collection at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
