EDITORS COMMENTS
Laughter, after 1698 Artist: Eduardus Jacobus (1665-1730) Date: Late 18th century Medium: Red chalk with touches of graphite on tan laid paper Description: This drawing by Eduardus Jacobus, titled "Laughter," depicts a solitary woman lost in the moment of pure joy and amusement. The artist masterfully captures the essence of human emotion through his skillful use of chalk and graphite. The woman's face is illuminated with the radiant glow of happiness, her eyes sparkling with merriment. Her head tilts back in delight, her mouth wide open in a hearty laugh. The delicate lines of her facial features and the subtle color variations in her skin add depth and texture to the portrait. The drawing is a testament to the universal language of laughter and the power it holds to bring people together. It is believed that Jacobus was inspired by a British print from the late 17th century, which he sought to reinterpret in his own unique way. The artist's expert handling of the medium, combined with his keen understanding of human emotion, results in a captivating work of art that continues to resonate with viewers today. The drawing is part of the rich artistic heritage housed in the Art Institute of Chicago's Prints and Drawings department. It invites us to reflect on the complexities of human emotion and the power of art to evoke feelings and transport us to another time and place.
