Portret van koningin Emma 1879 - 1890

This anonymous portrait of Queen Emma of the Netherlands was created sometime between 1879 and 1890. It features the Queen in profile, looking to the right, with her hair elaborately styled and adorned with flowers. The portrait is a classic example of a 19th century carte-de-visite photograph, a popular format for portraits at the time, and is now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The use of an oval frame was a common feature of the genre, and the image is in black and white with a slightly sepia tone.
