Morning 1595

"Morning" is an etching by Jan Saenredam, created in 1595, and currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark. The print depicts a scene of domestic life with a family gathered around a table, with a woman seated in the foreground offering a dish to a young child. The artwork is a fine example of Saenredam's skill in depicting everyday scenes with intricate detail and a sense of intimacy. The use of etching techniques results in a fine, detailed image with a strong sense of light and shadow. The subject matter and style are indicative of the Dutch Golden Age and would have resonated with audiences during that era.
