Portret van een peuter 1880 - 1906

"Portret van een peuter" is a portrait photograph of a toddler taken between 1880 and 1906 by the photographic studio W.G. Kuijer & Zonen. The photo captures a young child, likely a few years old, sitting on a small chair, wearing a white dress with a lace collar.

The image's intimate scale and the child's earnest gaze evokes a sense of childhood innocence, a popular theme in portraiture.
