This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a masterpiece titled "Alms-giving woman pearl headdress halo hands bread" by Maerten de Vos, engraved by Raphael Sadeler. Created in 1589, this artwork is part of a series that depicts Christian virtues. In this particular scene, we are transported to a domestic interior where an alms-giving woman takes center stage. Adorned with a magnificent pearl headdress and surrounded by an ethereal halo, she extends her hands gracefully while offering bread to two male beggars. The bearded men appear humbled and grateful for her generosity. Beyond the portal behind them, we catch a glimpse of the bustling world outside through which they have entered into this intimate moment. A maidservant stands nearby, observing the act of charity taking place. The engraving skillfully captures the intricate details of each figure's expression and attire. It measures approximately 9 3/16 x 6 9/16 inches (234 x 166 cm), making it an exquisite piece to behold. Raphael Sadeler's craftsmanship brings life to Maerten de Vos' original composition, showcasing his mastery as both artist and engraver. This Netherlandish artwork transports us back in time to witness an act of compassion that transcends centuries – reminding us of the enduring power of kindness and empathy.
