The betrayal before 1890

"The Betrayal" is a photograph by Carl Stockmann, created before 1890. It depicts a staged scene of a biblical story, likely the betrayal of Jesus. The photograph appears to be a black and white print, and was possibly taken for a publication. This artwork is an example of early photography, and demonstrates the evolving role of the medium in art, particularly its use in dramatic and narrative scenes. The small size of the photograph, measuring 162 mm in height and 208 mm in width, suggests it was likely intended for a smaller publication or private collection.
