Fotoreproductie van een schilderij van een zieke vrouw door Jan Steen 1902

This 1902 photographic reproduction by Koop Remmerts Semplonius depicts a scene from a painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Jan Steen. The photo captures a scene likely depicting a woman, possibly ill or grieving, being consoled by a man. The image showcases Semplonius' skill in reproducing the detail and tone of the original painting. This photographic reproduction is a valuable resource for studying the works of Jan Steen. The work may be considered an example of photomechanical reproduction, a technique that allowed for the mass production of images in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
