Portret van een zittende baby in witte jurk 1889 - 1925

This photograph, titled "Portret van een zittende baby in witte jurk" by Dutch photographer Josephus Hendrikus Petrus Coppens, captures a young child seated on a furry surface. Taken sometime between 1889 and 1925, the image is part of the Rijksmuseum collection and showcases Coppens' skill in capturing the innocent charm of childhood. The baby's delicate features and simple white dress are rendered in sharp detail, emphasizing the subject's vulnerability and sweetness. This intimate portrait, a common theme in Coppens' work, offers a glimpse into the life of a child in late 19th or early 20th-century Dutch society.
