Tien portretten van Beethoven en andere componisten en musici 1880 - 1910

"Tien portretten van Beethoven en andere componisten en musici" is a collection of ten portraits of famous composers and musicians, including Beethoven, arranged in a grid pattern within oval frames. Created by an unknown artist sometime between 1880 and 1910, this albumen print demonstrates a popular form of portraiture during that period. The collection, now part of the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the artistic appreciation of musical figures in the late 19th century. The small size of the work, measuring only 134 mm by 96 mm, suggests that it was likely a personal memento or part of a larger collection.
