Portret van Holland Day before 1903

"Portret van Holland Day" is a portrait photograph taken by Robert Demachy before 1903 and currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The photograph depicts Holland Day in profile, wearing a dark hat and coat. The image is printed in black and white, a popular medium for photographers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Demachy, known for his innovative work in pictorialism, used soft lighting and a shallow depth of field to create a moody and atmospheric portrait. This technique emphasizes the sitter's features and adds a sense of intimacy to the image.
