Portret van een baby, zittend in een stoel 1877 - 1900

"Portret van een baby, zittend in een stoel" (Portrait of a baby sitting in a chair) is a black and white photograph taken by Max Büttinghausen between 1877 and 1900. The image depicts a young baby seated in a chair, looking directly at the viewer. The photo is part of the Rijksmuseum collection and exemplifies the early development of photography as an art form, capturing a snapshot of a child's innocence. The small size of the photograph, measuring just 82 mm in height and 51 mm in width, suggests it may have been part of a personal album, documenting a precious moment in the child's life.
