Stilleven van een stoel en tafel met boeken en een pijp 1887 - 1888

"Stilleven van een stoel en tafel met boeken en een pijp" (Still Life of a Chair and Table with Books and a Pipe), created by Dutch photographer Marinus Pieter Filbri between 1887 and 1888, is a striking example of the still life genre in photography. This small-scale photograph, measuring just 106 mm by 76 mm, captures the simple yet evocative scene of a chair and table laden with books and a pipe. The composition is tightly framed, emphasizing the intimate details of the objects and their arrangement. Filbri's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, highlighting the textures and forms of the objects in the image. This work demonstrates Filbri's keen eye for detail and his ability to transform everyday objects into compelling subjects, a characteristic of his still life photography.
