Fotoreproductie van een schilderij van een groep mensen bij een waterput c. 1865 - 1900

This photograph, taken by Laurens Lodewijk Kleijn, captures a reproduction of a painting depicting a group of people gathered around a well. The image is presented in a negative format, with the subjects appearing as light figures against a dark background. The composition suggests a scene from a biblical narrative or a historical event, possibly representing a moment of community gathering or a shared experience. Kleijn, a Dutch photographer active in the late 19th century, captured this image sometime between 1865 and 1900. The photograph's small size, measuring 150 mm by 178 mm, highlights the common practice of documenting paintings in the era, allowing for easy distribution and study.
