Description
Johannes Vermeer has passed away, his wife, Catharina Bolnes has been left with heavy debts that she must honor. By now she has sold out most of the house furniture and valuable items to pay angry creditors. An unfinished painting leans against the wall, a creditor started to rip it out but then, he realized that it has no value as Vermeer could not sign it.
An empty, tipped- over berkemeyer glass is lying in the floor, certainly an object worth a place in a museum today, but of no value at the time. A letter of credit was thrown on the floor by a creditor who wanted to show his contempt for the family.
The image tries to convey the emptiness, desolation and overwhelming feelings that Catharina must have felt with her husband passing. Not only is she now responsible to carry the house, but also to raise the eleven children left.
Print ONLY on canvas for a more realistic painting look.
