Portret van een onbekende vrouw 1884 - 1896

"Portret van een onbekende vrouw" is a portrait photograph by Friedrich Julius von Kolkow, dating from 1884-1896. The image shows a young woman, perhaps in her late teens or early twenties, posed against a neutral background. Her braided hair and embroidered dress are clearly visible, hinting at the fashion of the time. The image is a fine example of 19th-century portraiture, showcasing Kolkow's skills in capturing the sitter's likeness in a formal, yet intimate style. This work, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the evolution of portrait photography during this period.
