Portret van een onbekende vrouw met fotoalbum of boek in klederdracht (sitsen wentke) van Hindeloopen, Friesland 1860 - 1890

This albumen print portrait of an unknown woman in traditional Hindeloopen dress was created by Dutch photographer Andries Jager between 1860 and 1890. The woman is depicted standing with a lantern in one hand and a book or photo album in the other. The detail of the elaborate clothing and the lantern suggests that the woman may have been a member of the Hindeloopen community, known for their distinctive embroidery and craftsmanship. The photograph, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the life and attire of a woman from Friesland in the 19th century.
