EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Une femme attrapant des puces a la lumiere de la bougie" by Pehr Hillestrom. Painted in the 18th century, this oil on canvas piece measures 51.5x42.5 cm and is housed at the National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. The painting depicts a woman diligently catching fleas by candlelight, offering a glimpse into everyday life during that era. The artist skillfully captures the atmosphere of the night with his use of lighting and shadows, creating an intriguing ambiance. The woman's attire and surrounding furniture provide insight into Scandinavian culture at the time. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork, from her costume to the screen behind her.
