Fotoreproductie van een schilderij, voorstellende Faust ziet Marguerite de kerk verlaten c. 1875 - 1890

This photograph, dating from 1875 to 1890, is a reproduction of a painting depicting the famous scene from Goethe's Faust where Marguerite leaves the church. The photo was likely created to be sold as a popular memento, a common practice in the late 19th century. The image shows Marguerite, dressed in a long gown, as she walks away from a church, perhaps after having committed a transgression. Faust, her lover, stands in the background, appearing to be a witness to the events. This image likely evokes a sense of tragedy and moral ambiguity, common themes explored in Goethe's work. The photo is a valuable document that provides insight into popular culture and the reception of Goethe's Faust in the 19th century.
