EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time from the 17th century. Titled "A Boy resting on a Basket" this artwork by Cornelis Saftleven showcases his talent for capturing human emotion and everyday life. The young boy, dressed in traditional clothing of the era, is seen kneeling on the ground outdoors, his hat placed beside him. Exhaustion seems to have taken hold of him as he rests against an upturned basket. The composition of this image is striking, with the boy's figure perfectly framed within the frame. His peaceful expression suggests a much-needed break from whatever task or chore he was engaged in before finding solace here. The attention to detail is remarkable, allowing us to appreciate every fold and crease in his clothes. Housed at The Courtauld Gallery in London, this painting has been preserved through time and now immortalized as a print collector's item. Its inclusion in The Studio Volume 98 publication from 1929 further solidifies its significance as an important piece of art history. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back centuries ago to witness a simple yet profound moment captured by Saftleven's skilled hand. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our fast-paced modern lives, moments of rest and contemplation remain timeless concepts that resonate across generations.
