Portret van Beatrix, koningin der Nederlanden 1939 - 1941

This black and white photograph, titled "Portret van Beatrix, koningin der Nederlanden", depicts the young Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands, taken sometime between 1939 and 1941. The image shows the princess, dressed in a dark jacket and shorts, standing on a porch, her hand to her mouth. The artist of this snapshot, captured within the small dimensions of 105 mm by 70 mm, remains anonymous, but the image itself serves as a poignant portrait of the future queen in her youth. The photograph is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
