Portret van een jongen met een boek op een stoel, aangeduid als zoontje van Van Gogh c. 1862 - 1885

This carte-de-visite photograph, taken by Albert Greiner between 1862 and 1885, depicts a young boy holding a book while standing on a chair. The image is believed to be a portrait of Vincent van Gogh's son, making it a valuable artifact for understanding the life of the famed Dutch artist. The small size of the photograph, typical of the carte-de-visite format, suggests its personal nature and potential role as a family keepsake. The boy's serious expression and formal attire, combined with the presence of a book, hint at a sense of education and intellectual curiosity. The photograph is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
