"Geestelijke lezend bij kaarslicht," is a black and white lithograph print by Willem Frederik Wehmeyer, depicting a clergyman reading by candlelight in a dimly lit room. Created between 1842 and 1873, this intimate scene highlights the quiet solitude of religious study, a subject that was popular in 19th-century art. Wehmeyer's meticulous detail in capturing the nuances of light and shadow further emphasizes the contemplative atmosphere. The print exemplifies the artistic trend of depicting everyday life, offering a glimpse into the world of a spiritual man in the 19th century.
