Portret van een staand kind met een boek in de hand 1873 - 1899

This portrait, titled "Portret van een staand kind met een boek in de hand", was created by Dutch photographer Willem Gerhardus Kuijer between 1873 and 1899. The photograph captures a young child standing and holding a book, likely in a studio setting, as evidenced by the furniture and backdrop. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Kuijer's talent for capturing the innocence and charm of childhood through a formal and posed portrait style, common in 19th-century photography.
