Portret van een hond op een lage tafel 1870 - 1890

This carte de visite photograph by Albert Greiner, taken sometime between 1870 and 1890, depicts a small dog, possibly a Yorkshire Terrier, sitting on a table. The dog is posed in a relaxed manner, looking slightly off to the side. The photograph is a testament to Greiner's skill as a portrait photographer and the popularity of pet photography in the late 19th century. The carte de visite format, a small photograph designed to be easily exchanged, was common during this time period. The image, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the lives of people and their pets in the past.
