Portret van een onbekende communicant achter een bidstoel c. 1880 - 1910

This black and white photograph by Photo Compagnie Belge, taken sometime between 1880 and 1910, captures a young girl in her First Communion dress. The subject, posed against a simple backdrop, leans against a prie-dieu, a small kneeling chair often used for prayer. Her white dress and veil, along with the religious setting, evoke a sense of solemnity and innocence. The photo, likely taken for a family keepsake, exemplifies the practice of documenting significant moments in life during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
