"Portret van een man en een vrouw, staand en zittend voor een geschilderd achtergronddoek (scheepsdek)" is a 1903 tintype by G.W. Stevens depicting a couple in a studio setting. The man, wearing a suit and hat, sits with his arm resting on a prop, while the woman stands with her arm around his shoulder. The background appears to be a painted backdrop depicting a ship's deck, a common studio practice of the time. The small size of the tintype, measuring 87 mm in height and 67 mm in width, suggests it was likely a personal portrait for the couple, capturing a moment of intimacy and connection. Tintypes, a photographic process popular in the 19th century, captured images on a thin sheet of metal, creating a unique and durable photographic format.
