Fotoreproductie van een detail van een schilderij met een scène uit het leven van Willem van Oranje c. 1865 - 1900

This photographic reproduction, created between 1865 and 1900 by Dutch photographer Laurens Lodewijk Kleijn, captures a detail from a larger painting depicting a scene from the life of Willem van Oranje. The image is a negative, resulting in a reversed tonality, which makes the figures appear as silhouettes against a lighter background. The composition focuses on a group of individuals, possibly members of the court or military, gathered around a table, their faces partially obscured by the negative process. Kleijn's work provides a glimpse into the visual culture of the 19th century, showcasing the practice of documenting historical artworks through photography.
