An Old Woman Seated Sewing
Artist: Johannes Van Der Aack (Dutch, 1636/7 - 1682)
Original Dimensions: 42 7/8" x 32 1/4"
Location: National Gallery of Art, London
About Artwork: (1655) "This was painted seven years after the ending of the Thirty Years‘ War, one of the most destructive conflicts in European history and caused in part by a power struggle between Catholic and Protestant countries. We don’t know who the woman is, or if the painting was intended as a portrait or is a sympathetic – if stereotypical – representation of age and femininity. What is unusual, and seems a confirmation of the woman’s piety and strict religious views, is the picture on the wall behind her. Van der Aack has included a copy of a portrait of Christian, Duke of Brunswick (1599–1626), a Protestant general. He fought for the United Provinces, which became the Dutch Republic, and was a violent Protestant partisan. So it would appear that the Duke was an icon for the Protestant religion; perhaps the old woman is a serene, but usefully occupied, feminine icon offered as an example to others." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
