Hond, zittend op een stoel 1865 - 1887

"Hond, zittend op een stoel" (Dog, Sitting on a Chair), a small, intimate portrait by Dutch photographer Jan George Mulder, captures a seated dog with a contemplative gaze. The image is reminiscent of Victorian-era pet portraiture, common in the late 19th century. Mulder, a renowned photographer active between 1865 and 1887, specialized in this type of work, and his meticulous detail and focus on the dog's expression gives a glimpse into the human-animal bond. The image, measuring just 81 mm in height and 50 mm in width, suggests a personal and sentimental purpose, possibly created for a family album.
