Portret van een meisje in tule 1856

Eduard Isaac Asser's "Portret van een meisje in tule" (1856) is a striking portrait of a young girl in a white dress, captured in a studio setting. The girl, dressed in a voluminous tulle gown and adorned with a flower crown, stands with a poised yet youthful expression. Asser's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and detail, highlighting the intricate design of the girl's dress and the delicate features of her face. This photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into 19th-century portraiture and the charm of a young girl's innocence.
