Groepsportret van Eiso en Gerda Bergsma met kind en hond op Sumatra 1914 - 1926

This black and white photograph, taken sometime between 1914 and 1926, is a portrait of a family, Eiso and Gerda Bergsma, their young child, and their dog. The image is likely a snapshot taken in an outdoor setting, showcasing a family enjoying the outdoors in colonial Sumatra. The photograph's simple composition and candid style are characteristic of vernacular photography, a genre focusing on everyday life and family documentation, and it was likely made by an amateur photographer. The photograph is currently part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum, a national museum in Amsterdam.
