Portret van Beatrix, koningin der Nederlanden Possibly 1938

This black and white portrait photograph by Franz Ziegler captures Beatrix, Queen of the Netherlands, as a baby. Taken in 1938, shortly before Ziegler’s death, it showcases the Queen in a christening gown, the delicate lace of the garment contrasting with her wide, curious eyes. The soft lighting and close-up composition create an intimate and endearing image, highlighting the innocence and vulnerability of childhood. This photograph is a part of the Rijksmuseum's collection.
