EDITORS COMMENTS
The print showcases a captivating piece of art titled "Do Not Make Water on Clippings from Nails or Hair [fol. 30 recto], c. 1512/1515". Created in the 16th century, this pen and ink drawing with watercolor on laid paper offers a glimpse into the world of governance and guidance during that era. The artwork is part of the Mirrors for Princes genre, which aimed to provide advice and instructions to rulers and monarchs. The unknown artist skillfully portrays a male figure, possibly a king or sovereign, engrossed in reading literature while holding clippings from nails or hair. Set against an intricate background, the image exudes elegance with its delicate color palette and meticulous detailing. It represents not only French heritage art but also serves as an embodiment of royal authority and power. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, this artwork invites viewers to ponder upon concepts such as behavior, governance, and monarchy prevalent during the sixteenth century. Its presence in an esteemed art gallery further emphasizes its significance within the realm of historical masterpieces. As we admire this remarkable creation by an anonymous artist from centuries ago, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and offer us glimpses into different eras and cultures around the world.
