"Portret van een zittende non" is a small-scale portrait photograph by Franciscus Petrus Johannes Snels, dating from 1868 - 1900. The photograph depicts a nun seated in a contemplative pose, her hands clasped together, and a rosary draped over her lap. Behind her, a crucifix stands prominently on a small table, emphasizing her devotion. This intimate portrait, characteristic of Snels’ work, captures the solemnity and quiet dignity of religious life.
