Portret van een onbekend meisje, zittend op een stoel 1873 - 1917

This portrait of an unknown girl, seated on a chair, is a studio photograph taken by Swedish photographer Maria Tesch, sometime between 1873 and 1917. The image showcases a young girl in a striped dress, her pose relaxed, with one leg resting on the seat and her other leg dangling. This intimate snapshot captures a moment of childhood innocence, characteristic of Tesch's photographic practice, which primarily focused on portraiture, particularly of children. The image is rendered in a traditional sepia tone, adding a sense of timelessness. This photograph, measuring 105mm by 61mm, is an evocative glimpse into the life of a child in the late 19th or early 20th century.
