About the Item

Orphan Children of Amsterdam, Hand-Coloured Lithograph, c.1845 This evocative lithograph shows two orphaned children from Amsterdam, identifiable by their sober clothing and formal posture. The image documents a specific social institution rather than regional costume alone, offering insight into urban life and charitable systems in the Netherlands during the 19th century. Published by Auguste Wahlen, the plate balances ethnographic documentation with a quietly narrative quality. Duverger’s careful rendering conveys restraint and dignity, avoiding sentimentality while acknowledging the subject’s social reality. The muted palette and restrained background focus attention on gesture and attire, while the hand colouring adds warmth to an otherwise austere theme. This print appeals equally to collectors of Dutch material, social history, and costume prints. CONDITION: Mild age toning and scattered foxing; structurally sound. FRAMING TIPS: Excellent in a black or dark walnut frame with a pale grey mat. Technique: Hand-coloured lithograph Maker: Duverger after Auguste Wahlen, Brussels, c.1845
