Portret van een vrouw 1885 - 1900

"Portret van een vrouw" (Portrait of a Woman) is a small-scale portrait photograph by A. Moriau, created between 1885 and 1900. The image depicts a woman, likely a member of the artist’s family, in a seated pose against a plain backdrop, her attire and somber expression suggesting a formal portrait, possibly made for a family album. The soft, muted tones and the tight composition contribute to the overall intimate and contemplative nature of the work. The photograph is a testament to Moriau’s skill in capturing the essence of his subjects, highlighting the enduring power of portraiture in capturing personal stories and emotions.
