Fotoreproductie van het schilderij De heilige Agnes door Ribera before 1875

This 19th-century photographic reproduction of "The Holy Agnes" by Ribera depicts the saint kneeling with her arms crossed and a palm frond in her right hand, while an angel drapes a garment over her head. The image emphasizes the religious subject matter and the artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark. While the original artist is known, the photographer of this reproduction remains anonymous, making it a fascinating example of how art is preserved and reproduced throughout history.
