EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of everyday life in the 17th century, as depicted in Quiringh van Brekelenkam's masterpiece "Une femme lave ses mains - A Woman Washing her Hands". The painting showcases a woman diligently washing her hands, surrounded by various elements that represent the society and lifestyle of that era. The scene takes place in a well-furnished dwelling, adorned with exquisite furniture and furnishings. The woman is accompanied by a servant, emphasizing the societal hierarchy prevalent during this time. As she sits on a chair next to an elegant bed, she meticulously cleanses her hands using a bucket and pitcher filled with water. This artwork not only portrays personal hygiene but also reflects the importance placed on health and beauty care during this period. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the painting – from the delicate linen worn by both women to their costumes that showcase their social status. Brekelenkam's skillful brushwork brings forth an atmosphere of tranquility and domesticity. Through this piece, he offers us a glimpse into the lives of bourgeois women who strived for cleanliness amidst their opulent surroundings. Displayed at Nationalmuseum Stockholm, this painting stands as a testament to Dutch Flemish artistry and its ability to capture ordinary moments with extraordinary grace. It serves as a reminder of how even mundane tasks can be transformed into timeless works of art.
