Fotoreproductie van een sculptuur c. 1865 - 1900

This photograph, taken by Laurens Lodewijk Kleijn, captures a sculpture of a young boy, possibly a cherub, in a contemplative pose. Kleijn, a renowned photographer active in the Netherlands between 1865 and 1900, likely created this work during that period. The image is a photographic reproduction of the sculpture, showcasing the artist's ability to capture three-dimensional form in two dimensions. The sculpture itself appears to be made of a dark, possibly bronze, material and is characterized by a dynamic pose and a sense of emotion, inviting the viewer to contemplate its meaning. This photo serves as a valuable documentation of a lost sculpture, offering a glimpse into the artistic practice of the 19th century.
