Straatmuzikanten bij een heiligenbeeld 1871

"Straatmuzikanten bij een heiligenbeeld" (Street Musicians by a Holy Image) is an 1871 lithograph by Edouard Taurel (1824-1892) depicting two street musicians playing instruments in front of a religious shrine, a scene common in 19th-century European cities. The artwork, now held by the Rijksmuseum, captures a moment of everyday life, showcasing the artist's attention to detail and mastery of the printmaking technique. The composition, with its focus on the musicians and the contrasting light and shadows, adds depth and realism to the scene.
