DiaporamaAnna Leafing Through a Portfolio of Prints, Laura Theresa Alma Tadema (Lady), 1874
1874
11.0 x 31.0 cm
Anna, the painter's seven-year-old stepdaughter, holds up a large picture with both arms. She looks around, the print is almost too big for her. She sat behind a long wooden table on which the wallet with other prints lies, the cover rests against the wall on the left. Behind Anna hangs a large drawing or sketch on brown paper in a narrow golden frame on the wall. The composition follows the lying size of the panel. The colours are restrained and approach those of a print: black with different shades of white and ochre. Only the wallpaper on the wall shows a light blue pattern, a colour that returns more intensively to the inside of the cover of the picture folder.
