Portret van een vrouw, zittend aan een tafel met boek in de hand 1874 - 1900

"Portret van een vrouw, zittend aan een tafel met boek in de hand," is a small-scale, formal portrait of a woman seated and holding a book, captured in a black and white photograph by Richard Lanzendorf, a photographer active in the late 19th century. The composition is characteristic of cabinet card portraiture, a popular style of photography from the 1860s to the early 1900s. The woman is depicted in a seated pose, her hand resting on her chin, lending a contemplative air to the image. The photograph likely served as a personal memento for the sitter or her family.
