This is a sepia-toned photograph titled "Willy Onnen en Abraham Dudok van Heel" by Carolina (Loentje) Frederika Onnen, dated c. 1917. It depicts a portrait of Willy Onnen and Abraham Dudok van Heel, both seated and looking towards the camera. The image is framed with a circular border and has an overall soft focus which could suggest an amateur snapshot. The photograph captures the intimacy of a family portrait, likely made as a keepsake. The attire of the sitters hints at a historical context, with the man dressed in military uniform, possibly a testament to the period of WWI.
