Portret van Sophia Frederica Mathilda, koningin der Nederlanden 1855 - 1870

This anonymous portrait of Sophia Frederica Matilda, Queen of the Netherlands, dates to 1855-1870. The photograph depicts the Queen in a formal setting, standing with her hand resting on a table. The small size and style of the photograph indicate it was likely created as a carte-de-visite, a popular format for portraiture in the mid-19th century. These small photographs, often collected and exchanged, provided a way to share images of loved ones or public figures. The Queen's attire and posture convey her regal status and contribute to a sense of formality within the image.
