Portret van een kind 1884 - 1886

"Portret van een kind" is a portrait photograph of a young child taken by Veuve J. van Koningsveld between 1884 and 1886. The child, dressed in a sailor-style outfit, sits in an oval frame against a blurred backdrop. The photograph, with its focus on the child's facial features, showcases the photographer's expertise in capturing the essence of innocence and vulnerability. The small size and intimate portrait style were popular in the late 19th century, reflecting the sentimentality of the era.
