Kind rijdt paardje op rug van vader 1879

"Kind rijdt paardje op rug van vader" (Child Rides a Horse on Father's Back), created in 1879 by German photographer Sophus Williams, is a charming example of 19th-century genre photography. The image depicts a playful domestic scene where a young girl rides on her father's back while other family members look on. Williams' work is known for capturing everyday life and the innocence of childhood. The sepia tone and the posed nature of the subjects are characteristic of the genre style, which became popular in the late 19th century. The title, "Vaterfreuden," which translates to "fatherly joys," hints at the themes of familial love and affection that Williams explored in his work.
