Afgietsel van de buste van een kind 1850 - 1900

This photograph, created between 1850 and 1900 by Adolphe Giraudon, is a reproduction of a bust of a laughing child. The photograph, currently in the Rijksmuseum, captures the detail and expression of the original sculpture. This reproduction, a common practice in the 19th century, allowed for wider dissemination of art, making sculptures accessible to a broader audience. Giraudon, known for his photographic reproductions of sculptures, successfully captures the child’s lively expression and the smooth texture of the original marble.
