"Portret van een onbekende familie met vier kinderen, waarschijnlijk in Suriname" is a black and white photograph, likely a family portrait taken by Willem Amo between 1890 and 1910. The family, possibly of mixed race, is posed formally in a studio setting. The parents are seated, with the father in military uniform and the mother wearing a dress with a bow at the collar. Four children stand in front of them, two boys and two girls, dressed in light clothing, all looking directly at the camera. The photograph, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a rare glimpse into a family's life in Suriname during this period.
