Vanitas (Old Coquette)
Etching and engraving, after 1656, 397 x 316 mm., Block 156 i/ii, Hollstein 156. Very fine, proof impression, before all letters, on laid paper with narrow margins outside the plate mark and in excellent condition apart from the replacement of a small part of the margin at the top right corner. Despite her aged face and flabby body, vanity, encouraged by the assistance of two maids, blinds the woman to her decrepit state and near-imminent demise. Falck, who was born in Poland, had a brilliant engraving technique and faithfully, if in reverse, transcribed the painting. The latter, originally given to Johann Liss, but since correctly ascribed to Strozzi, was originally part of a collection of Italian late Renaissance and Baroque paintings owned by two Amsterdam merchants in the seventeenth century and is now in the Pushkin Museum, Moscow. The print is clearly one of the great masterpieces of Baroque reproductive engraving.
