Portret van een vrouw 1864 - 1890

"Portret van een vrouw" is a small-scale portrait photograph by Friedrich Julius von Kolkow, dating from between 1864 and 1890. The photograph, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a woman with a serious expression wearing a ruffled dress, and likely a brooch, looking directly at the viewer. This intimate portrait captures a snapshot of 19th-century fashion and the traditional style of portrait photography. The photograph's small size suggests it might have been a personal keepsake or a cabinet card.
