"Portret van een onbekend kind" (Portrait of an Unknown Child), a carte de visite photograph taken between 1871 and 1877 by Louis Robert Werner, captures the innocence of a young child. The image, housed in the Rijksmuseum, shows the child seated in a chair, wearing a white dress with intricate embroidery, looking directly at the viewer with a slight frown. The detail of the child's clothing and the overall composition create a sense of intimacy and nostalgia, reminiscent of 19th-century portraiture. Werner, a well-known photographer in Amsterdam, captured the sitter in a simple yet poignant way, emphasizing the fleeting nature of childhood.
