EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching from the 17th century showcases a black woman, offering us a glimpse into the diverse tapestry of Dutch society during the Golden Age. Created by Jan Lievens, a prominent artist of his time, this portrait captures the essence and beauty of this unnamed individual. The woman's profile is delicately engraved with intricate details that highlight her unique features. Her expression exudes strength and resilience, reflecting her role as a servant in Dutch society. As an African domestic worker in the Netherlands at that time, she would have been considered exotic and rare. Lievens' masterful technique brings out every nuance of her face, emphasizing her rich heritage and cultural significance. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the image while drawing attention to her striking features. Displayed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, this print serves as a valuable historical document shedding light on both racial diversity within Dutch society and its complex relationship with colonialism during this period. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the importance of representation and recognition for marginalized individuals throughout history. It invites us to reflect upon their stories often overlooked or forgotten but crucial for understanding our shared past.
