Portret van twee kinderen c. 1890

This black and white photograph, "Portret van twee kinderen," was created by Henri Paul Emile de la Roche Busé, a Dutch photographer known for his portraiture, around 1890. The portrait features two children, a girl and a boy, positioned side-by-side, looking directly at the viewer. The composition, with the children’s faces taking center stage, is characteristic of portrait photography of the period, highlighting the importance of family and childhood in 19th-century Dutch society. The photograph's small dimensions, measuring 104 mm by 63 mm, suggest it was likely a cabinet card, a popular format for personal portraits during this era.
