Yard of an Old House
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white drawing by the renowned Dutch artist Cornelis Saftleven, dating back to the Baroque era of the 17th century. The artwork, executed in black crayon, brush, and gray wash with touches of black chalk on buff laid paper laid down on ivory laid card, invites viewers to step back in time and explore the heritage of the Old World. The drawing depicts an alleyway leading to the courtyard of an old, aged house. The building, with its weathered walls and worn facade, exudes a sense of history and character. A ladder leans against the wall, hinting at the possibility of maintenance or repair work. The view through the alleyway offers a glimpse into the past, revealing a quaint scene of buildings huddled together, their wooden exteriors weathered by the elements. The drawing is a testament to Saftleven's mastery of the medium. The use of black and white creates a stark contrast, highlighting the textures and details of the scene. The artist's skillful use of crayon, brush, and chalk adds depth and dimension to the drawing, bringing the old houses to life. This artwork is a treasure of the Art Institute of Chicago's Prints and Drawings department. It is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the Low Countries and the Netherlands during the Baroque era. The Yard of an Old House is not just a drawing; it is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of people who lived centuries ago. It is a must-see for anyone interested in art, history, or the human experience.
