Detail van sculptuur De Nijl, Vaticaan c. 1885 - 1910

This photograph, taken between 1885 and 1910, captures a detail of the sculpture "De Nijl" (The Nile), which is located in the Vatican. The sculpture features three cherubs interacting with a crocodile, perhaps symbolizing the dangers of the Nile River. This image, a black and white photograph, is a work by James Anderson, a Scottish photographer known for his documentation of European art and architecture. The sculpture is likely a Roman work, though its exact date and attribution remain unclear. This photograph is a valuable documentation of a significant sculpture in the Vatican.
