Studioportret van vrouw, buste 1880 - 1920

This studio portrait of a woman, likely taken between 1880 and 1920, is a work by Dutch photographer Machiel Hendricus Laddé. The photograph, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Laddé's skill in capturing the delicate features and composed expression of his subject. The subdued lighting and simple composition of the photograph emphasize the woman's elegant attire and the refined style of early 20th-century portraiture. This portrait is an excellent example of the photographic practice of the time, with its attention to detail and its exploration of the sitter's personality.
