This photograph, titled "Portret van twee meisjes, zittend en staand op een stoel," created by C. van der Aa & J. Chrispijn between 1884 and 1895, captures a tender moment between two young girls. The seated girl holds a doll while the standing girl gazes directly at the viewer. The image, likely a studio portrait, showcases the popular genre of portraiture during this period.
