EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1672, where two men engage in a serious discussion about money within the confines of an office. The image is a copy made by either Cornelis Ploos van Amstel or Christian Josi, both renowned artists of their time. The scene depicts a moment frozen in time, capturing the essence of commerce and negotiation during that era. The two men can be seen deep in conversation, surrounded by various symbols of wealth and trade. A desk adorned with coins and a notary ledger takes center stage, signifying the importance of financial transactions taking place. One man leans forward attentively while holding a quill pen, perhaps jotting down important details discussed during their meeting. His counterpart wears an elegant waistcoat and carries a purse at his side - clear indications of his status as an accountant or businessman. Despite being indoors, there is an airiness to the image as sunlight streams through partially open windows. This subtle touch adds depth to the composition while reminding us that even amidst discussions about money and business matters, life continues outside these walls. This remarkable engraving from Jan Havicksz Steen's original painting offers us a glimpse into historical business practices and reminds us that negotiations have been part of human society for centuries. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with commerce and its impact on our lives.
