Prent van C.E. Taurel naar het schilderij Mijmering van Jozef Israëls c. 1855

This is a print by Eduard Isaac Asser of Jozef Israëls' painting "Mijmering", created around 1855. Asser, a Dutch photographer known for his portraits and landscapes, captured the essence of Israëls' original work, showcasing a woman lost in contemplation amidst a natural setting. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates the popularity of Israëls' work and the growing use of photography in art reproduction. The soft tones and the woman's pensive pose contribute to the artwork's melancholic and introspective mood.
