Portret van een staande vrouw met album en zittende man in uniform 1855 - 1889

This small-format portrait, likely a carte de visite, was captured by Franz Wilhelm Deutmann between 1855 and 1889. It features a seated man in military uniform holding a pipe and a standing woman holding an album, perhaps a family heirloom or a collection of photographs. The image provides a glimpse into the personal lives of a couple during the mid to late 19th century, reflecting the growing popularity of portraiture in this era. The photograph is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a testament to the enduring power of photography in documenting individual stories and capturing moments in time.
