Portretstudie van een onbekend meisje met een waterkan before 1892

This black and white photograph, titled "Portretstudie van een onbekend meisje met een waterkan" (Portrait Study of an Unknown Girl with a Water Jug), was created by the K.K. Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt für Photographie (Imperial Royal Institute for Photography) before 1892. The image depicts a young girl in traditional dress, holding a water jug on her shoulder, standing against a backdrop of a stone wall and door. This photograph, measuring 150 mm x 99 mm, is a prime example of the work produced by this renowned photography institute, showcasing the technical proficiency and artistic skill of the time. The image's composition, with the subject positioned in a simple yet effective way, emphasizes the girl's poise and the weight of the water jug she carries, creating a sense of quiet strength. The photograph is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing the institute's significant contribution to the development of photography in the late 19th century.
