Portret van een staand meisje bij een fauteuil, aangeduid als Saakje Anema 1873 - 1909

This portrait, titled "Portret van een staand meisje bij een fauteuil, aangeduid als Saakje Anema" by Idanus Hendrikus Slaterus (1846-1921), is a black and white photograph. It depicts a young girl, identified as Saakje Anema, standing next to an armchair. The image was taken sometime between 1873 and 1909. The girl is dressed in a long, dark dress, her hair is neatly parted and tucked behind her ears. The photograph's composition emphasizes the girl's figure in the oval frame, creating a sense of intimacy. The image's subtle details and the girl's melancholic expression offer a glimpse into the lives of young people during this period. This work is representative of Slaterus's use of photography to capture the daily lives of individuals in the late 19th century, a time of societal change and growing interest in photographic portraiture.
