About the Item

The Hunchbacked Fiddler (3rd State), 1654 Etching 266 x 113 mm.; 6 1/2 x 4 7/16 inches Watermark: Fleur-de-lys in a Crowned Shield References: Godefroy 44 III/VI Hollstein 44 III/VI Pelletier, Adrian van Ostade, Georgia Museum of Art, 1994: no. 107 Notes: A fine, silvery impression of the exceedingly rare 3rd state. With the smallest details clearly printed. In the following 4th state, there is a series of oblique lines going from the hat of the peasant on the right, through the ladder. Pelletier (p. 219) notes that: Although the negative themes of this sheet are hardly discernible to modern sensibilities, it is likely that Ostade’s contemporaries would have viewed it with quite different eyes. The bad reputation of traveling musicians was widespread during the seventeenth century, and they were frequently classed as little more than beggars, or worse. This aspect, when joined to the fact that Ostade depicted his fiddler as a hunchbacked dwarf is intensified by the widespread belief that physical deformity was either a cause or a result of evil. Indeed, the first Dutch translation of Cesare Ripa’s famous Italian handbook, Iconologia, published in 1644, used deformity as one of the attributes of depravity. The presence of a child with a hoop, also found in Ostade’s The Quacksalver of 1648, B. 43, may also comment negatively on the scene. For example, Jacob Cats used a child with a hoop to stand for a person whose life follows a path leading nowhere. Obviously, in seventeenth-century terms, it was an appropriate symbol for a deformed, wandering musician.

The Singers

By Adriaen van Ostade

Located in Chicago, IL

The Singers (4th State), 1667 Etching printed with tone 240 x 190 mm.; 9 1/2 x 7 1/2 inches Provenance: W. Benoni White (Lugt 2592) Karl Herweg (not in Lugt) References: Godefroy 19 IV/VII Hollstein 19 IV/VII Pelletier, Georgia Museum of Art, 1994: nos. 46 and 47 Notes: A very fine impression of the rare 4th state (of seven) of this major Van Ostade. Godefroy illustrates differences between this 4th state and the following 5th state. In the latter state, there are several “escaped lines”, going obliquely from left to right, directly above the central post. These lines are not visible in the 4th state. Ostade was one of the most important of the printmakers within the Rembrandt circle. His prints, avoiding religious subjects, depicted beggars, peasants and artisans. Combining great artistic sensitivity with thorough mastery of the medium of etching, Ostade etchings present a unique artistic panorama of life in seventeenth-century Holland. Pelletier (S.

The Large Village Fair

By Cornelis Dusart

Located in Chicago, IL

The Large Village Fair, 1685 Etching 268 x 377 mm.; 10 1/2 x 13 1/4 inches Watermark: Arms of Amsterdam Provenance: H. Freiherr von und zu Aufsess (Lugt 2749) M. Menge (Lugt 1893a). References: Hollstein 16 Notes: A fine, early impression (before spots on the sky) of one of Dusart’s most powerful and fanciful works. Concerning the provenances of this etching: Hans von und zu Aufsess (1801-1872) was a great book lover and also a major collector of Old Master prints. He was one of the founders, in 1852, of the Germanisches Museum in Nürnberg and was that museum’s director until 1862. Mas Menge (died in 1945) was a famous violinist and also a major collector of Old Master prints and drawings.
