Portret van een onbekend bruidspaar c. 1873 - 1906

This photograph, "Portret van een onbekend bruidspaar" by Max Büttinghausen, is a black and white portrait of an unidentified couple. The image captures the formal attire of a late 19th-century wedding, with the bride wearing a long gown and veil, while the groom is in a suit and top hat. The photo is a compelling glimpse into the fashion and customs of the time, providing a visual record of a significant life event. The artwork's small size and intimate composition suggest it was intended for personal use, perhaps as a wedding keepsake. The photograph is currently part of the Rijksmuseum's collection.
