Portret van een meisje en een jongen met een speelgoed paard in de hand 1875 - 1899

This portrait, created by Jean Baptiste Feilner between 1875 and 1899, captures a tender moment between a young boy and girl. The boy, dressed in a sailor suit, holds a toy horse while the girl, in a white dress, gently grasps his hand. The intimate pose and simple setting highlight the innocence of childhood, a common theme in Feilner's work. The image, measuring just 82mm by 49mm, evokes a sense of nostalgia and familial connection. The photograph showcases the artist's keen eye for detail, capturing the subtle expressions and textures of the subjects. This small-scale portrait, a popular format in the late 19th century, provides a glimpse into the domestic lives of everyday families.
