Muurschilderingen van Dirck Dalens III in de woning aan Herengracht 458, Amsterdam 1893 - 1899

This black and white photograph by Johanna Margaretha Piek, taken between 1893-1899, shows a detail of the interior of a house in Amsterdam, on Herengracht 458. The photograph captures a room with a table laid for dinner in the center of the room. The focal point of the room is a large mural on the far wall that depicts a landscape scene. The photograph is a record of an interior design trend of the time, using murals as a focal point for a room and as a display of wealth and status. The photographic style is an early example of documentary photography of interiors.
