DESCRIPTION: Dutch trompe l'oeil drawing with pen & ink, pencil, sepia, and black chalk, wax seal, and painted pigment. This montage of early 19th century ephemera depicting sheet music, scenic views, a sealed letter, cards, a portrait of an unknown sitter, and a penned sheet noting “...ter Nagedachtenis van S. G. Wezel oud 76 Jarr. Wassenaar October 1837.” Is this an homage to the individual portrayed, a metaphorical self-portrait, or just a random assortment of ephemera beautifully composed? The artist keeps us wondering and visually appeased by a striking harmony created through contrast. This piece starts with sheet music entitled; Romance Larghetto No 2. There is a Psalm and Op Jezus Geboorte (On Jesus Birth) and under the cards, Paastyd (Eastertide) and ends with “volti Subito.”
