Portret van een meisje in tule 1856

"Portret van een meisje in tule" (Portrait of a Girl in Tulle), a 1856 photograph by Eduard Isaac Asser, depicts a young girl in a ballet costume. The image captures the innocence and grace of youth, with the girl's delicate features and elegant posture emphasized by the soft lighting. The intricate details of her tulle dress and flower crown highlight the refined artistry of 19th-century portraiture. Asser, known for his work in the genre of photography, captured the essence of his subject with remarkable precision. This photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, stands as a testament to the artistic potential of the medium.
