This etching displays the characteristic linear precision and flattened perspective found in his turn-of-the-century output. The composition features two figures engaged in a ritualised interaction, where one woman covers the eyes of another. The scene possesses a dreamlike quality, typical of the Symbolist movement, which prioritised internal states and allegorical meaning over direct observation of the physical world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist employs a rigorous geometric structure, framing the figures within a decorative border that echoes his architectural training. The lines are deliberate and controlled, creating a sense of stillness and gravity. The figures are rendered with a focus on silhouette and pattern rather than anatomical volume, which aligns with the aesthetic preferences of the period. The use of negative space and the stark contrast between the dark background and the lighter, etched forms draw the viewer into the quiet, enigmatic narrative of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Bazel was deeply influenced by theosophy and the search for universal truths, which often manifested in his art through balanced, symmetrical arrangements and recurring motifs. This work is an example of his ability to synthesise disparate influences, including Egyptian art and early modern European design, into a cohesive visual language. The print offers a glimpse into the intellectual climate of the Netherlands during the early 1900s, where artists sought to reconcile the material world with spiritual inquiry. By stripping away unnecessary detail, the artist directs attention to the gesture itself, inviting contemplation on the nature of sight, concealment, and human connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/clothes-exchange-no-1-james-mcneill-whistler\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eClothes Exchange, No. 1 - James McNeill Whistler — James McNeill Whistler\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/view-of-st-blaise-hans-thoma\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eView of St. Blaise - Hans Thoma — Hans Thoma\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Karel de Bazel","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443665703247,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443673436495,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443673469263,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443673502031,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443673534799,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443673567567,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443673600335,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443673633103,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443673665871,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443673698639,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443673731407,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443673764175,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Lacterende-vrouw-die-de-ogen-van-een-andere-vrouw-bedekt_Poster_CompositorV1_1786238645446.jpg?v=1786418486","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/lacterende-vrouw-die-de-ogen-van-een-andere-vrouw-bedekt-karel-petrus-cornelis-de-bazel","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
