Stilleven met allerlei voorwerpen c. 1855

"Stilleven met allerlei voorwerpen" (Still Life with Various Objects) is a striking example of 19th-century Dutch still life photography by Eduard Isaac Asser. The photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases a carefully composed arrangement of everyday objects, including a wicker basket, a birdcage, framed portraits, and a ceramic jug. Asser’s keen eye for detail and skillful use of light and shadow create a sense of depth and realism, capturing the textures and forms of each object with precision.
