Portret van een vrouw uit de familie Marmelstein, vermoedelijk de schoonmoeder van A. F. Marmelstein 1886 - 1900

This portrait, created by Dutch photographer H. van der Zijl between 1886 and 1900, depicts a woman from the Marmelstein family, possibly the mother-in-law of A.F. Marmelstein. The portrait features a formal composition, characteristic of photographic portraiture of the late 19th century. The sitter, dressed in a lace-trimmed blouse, gazes directly at the viewer, conveying a sense of seriousness and dignity. The photograph, likely taken in a studio, is a small-format image, showcasing van der Zijl's mastery of capturing detail and expression within a limited space.
