Fotoreproductie van een ets van een portret van Albert Passenbronder door Willem Linnig (II) before 1896

This is a phot reproduction of an etching of a portrait of Albert Passenbronder by Willem Linnig II, by Alexandre van Antro. Here, the act of reproducing the image invites us to consider layers of representation and interpretation. How does each artist – Linnig and van Antro – approach their subject, and how does the act of reproduction alter the original's message or impact? What does it mean to reproduce an image of a person? Consider the social and cultural context in which this portrait was created. What does the choice of subject tell us about the values and priorities of the time? Is Passenbronder being celebrated for his status or contributions, and how does this compare to the experiences of everyday people? The portrait might reflect the societal values and the importance of certain figures in history. This image invites reflection on identity, representation, and the passage of time.
