EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a stunning blackwork shape heart ornament set within an ornate frame adorned with mascarons and two bunches of fruit. The intricate design, meticulously crafted by Jean Toutin in Chateaudun back in 1619, is truly a work of art. What makes this print even more intriguing is the narrative it portrays. Positioned below the heart-shaped ornament, we see a well-to-do woman elegantly dressed, carrying a basket on her arm as she generously gives alms to two impoverished men. This juxtaposition between wealth and poverty serves as a powerful reminder of the disparities that exist within society. The artist's attention to detail extends beyond just the central motif; tiny insects like bees are delicately etched into the composition, adding another layer of visual interest. The use of black ink against white paper creates a striking contrast that further enhances the overall impact of this artwork. Measuring at 108mm in height and 79mm in width, this print is part of an album featuring various ornaments and themes related to giving alms. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on societal dynamics while appreciating both its aesthetic beauty and historical significance
