EDITORS COMMENTS
The Smoker, c1630-1680 (1843) captures a captivating scene from the 17th century, immortalized in this engraving by J Jackson. The print, featured in The Art-Union Scrap Book of 1843, takes us back to a time when smoking pipes was not just a pastime but an art form. In this intimate portrayal, we see a lone Dutch man engrossed in his game of cards. Sitting comfortably inside a humble café or tavern, he exudes an air of relaxation as he indulges in his favorite vice - tobacco. With every puff that escapes his pipe, wisps of smoke dance around him like ethereal spirits. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the man's face and attire. His weathered features tell tales of life experiences while his clothing reflects the fashion trends of that era. Through this portrait-like depiction, J Jackson invites us into the world of this mysterious smoker and allows us to ponder upon his thoughts and stories. Adriaen van Ostade's influence on J Jackson is apparent here as well; both artists were known for their ability to capture everyday scenes with remarkable realism. This collaboration between two talented creators brings forth an exquisite piece that transports us through time and space. As we gaze at 'The Smoker, ' we are reminded that even centuries apart, certain aspects of human nature remain unchanged – our desire for leisurely pursuits amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life
