Fotoreproductie van Lorelei door Karl Begas 1870 - 1890

This is a photo reproduction of a painting titled *Lorelei* by Karl Begas, dated between 1870-1890. The image depicts a scene from German folklore, with the mythical figure Lorelei playing a lute while perched atop a rock formation, as a sailor in a boat passes by. The scene likely evokes the popular German folk ballad by Heinrich Heine that tells of a siren who lures sailors to their deaths with her enchanting singing. The small size of the print suggests it might have been a personal keepsake or part of a collection of prints, likely popular in 19th century Germany.
