EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a scene from the play "The Spendthrift of the Wasteful Woman" by Thomas Asselijn. In act III, scene V, we witness a pivotal moment as Johanna's husband Gerardus and her father Augustijn disguise themselves as Polish merchants to uncover her extravagant lifestyle. The room is adorned with lavish decorations, including a ceiling painting and a table filled with various curiosities such as Chinese porcelain, statuettes, and rolls of textile. As Johanna sits at the table engrossed in her leisurely activities, we see a ring-tailed lemur perched on the chair to her left while a mischievous cat hides under the cupboard on her right. This image beautifully portrays themes of comedy, collecting, squandering, extravagance, and waste. It serves as an exemplum or representation of an exemplary historical event within the play's narrative. Painted by Cornelis Troost in 1741 using oil paint on panel measuring 68.5 cm in height and 86 cm in width, this artwork showcases his artistic talent. The Liszt Collection presents this print that allows us to delve into the world of "The Spendthrift of the Wasteful Woman".
