Portret van een militair in uniform met hond 1941 - 1945

This black and white photograph, taken between 1941 and 1945 by an unknown photographer, depicts a soldier in uniform kneeling with his dog. The small size of the image suggests it could have been a personal snapshot. The soldier's uniform and the dog's presence offer a glimpse into the lives of soldiers during wartime. This anonymous portrait is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, a testament to the enduring power of simple imagery to capture moments of human connection even in the midst of conflict.
